Description

BACKGROUND
HIV-1 infection, and the resulting Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), remain threats to global public health, despite extensive efforts to develop anti-HIV-1 therapeutic agents. An enveloped virus, HIV-1 hides from humoral recognition behind a wide array of protective mechanisms. The major HIV-1 envelope protein (HIV-1 Env) is a glycoprotein of approximately 160 kD (gpl60). During infection, proteases of the host cell cleave gpl60 into gpl20 and gp41. gp41 is an integral membrane protein, while gpl20 protrudes from the mature virus. Together gpl20 and gp41 make up the HIV-1 envelope spike, which is a target for neutralizing antibodies. Broadly neutralizing antibodies that bind to HIV-1 Env have been identified, including the 10E8 antibody, which specifically binds to the membrane proximal external region (MPER) of gp41 and can neutralize a high percentage of HIV-1 strains. However, there is a need to develop additional neutralizing antibodies for HIV-1 with varying recognition and neutralization profiles for commercial production.
SUMMARY
Disclosed herein are isolated antibodies and antigen binding fragments that specifically bind to HIV1 gp41 and neutralize HIV-1. In some embodiments, the isolated antibody or antigen binding fragment comprises heavy and light chain variable regions comprising one or more amino acid substitutions (for example in the complementarity determining regions (CDRs) and/or the framework regions) compared to the 10E8 antibody sequence that impart an improved combination of neutralization, solubility, and autoreactivity properties relative to the 10E8 antibody.
In some embodiments, the isolated antibody or antigen binding fragment comprises a heavy chain variable region (Vh) comprising a heavy chain complementarity determining region (HCDR)l, a HCDR2, and a HCDR3 of the Vh set forth as SEQ ID NO: 75 (10E8v4 SlOOcF), and a light chain variable region (VL) comprising a light chain complementarity determining region (FCDR)l, a FCDR2, and a FCDR3 of the Vl set forth as SEQ ID NO: 6 (rF3-6mut), wherein the antibody or antigen binding fragment specifically binds to gp41 and neutralizes HIV-1. In some embodiments, the HCDR1, the HCDR2, the HCDR3, the
-1WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390
LCDR1, the LCDR2, and the LCDR3 comprise the amino acid sequences set forth as SEQ ID NOs: 7, 8, 77,
10, 11, and 12, respectively (10E8v4 SlOOcF IMGT CDRs). In some embodiments, the Vh and Vl of the isolated antibody or antigen binding fragment comprise the amino acid sequences set forth as SEQ ID NOs:
and 6, respectively (10E8v4 SlOOcF), or SEQ ID NOs: 76 and 6, respectively (10E8v4 V5R SlOOcF), wherein the antibody or antigen binding fragment specifically binds to gp41 and neutralizes HIV-1.
In additional embodiments, the isolated antibody comprises a Vh comprising a HCDR1, a HCDR2, and a HCDR3 of the Vh set forth as SEQ ID NO: 5, and a Vl comprising a light chain LCDR1, a LCDR2, and a LCDR3 of the Vl set forth as SEQ ID NO: 6, wherein the Vh comprises arginine, glutamate, serine, lysine, aspartate, threonine, lysine, threonine, valine, threonine, threonine, tyrosine, glutamine, and isoleucine residues at kabat positions 3, 61, 62, 64, 72, 74, 75, 77, 82C, 84, 87, 89, 105, and 110, respectively, and the Vl comprises alanine, serine, aspartate, proline, alanine, lysine, glutamine, valine, isoleucine, threonine, glutamate, and aspartate residues at kabat positions 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 16, 17, 45, 58, 76, 83, and 85, respectively, and wherein the antibody or antigen binding fragment specifically binds to gp41 and neutralizes HIV-1.
Also disclosed are compositions including the antibodies and antigen binding fragments, nucleic acids encoding the antibodies and antigen binding fragments, expression vectors comprising the nucleic acids, and isolated host cells that comprise the nucleic acids. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid molecule can be a bicistronic expression construct encoding the Vh and Vl of the antibody or antigen binding fragment.
The disclosed antibodies and antigen binding fragments potently neutralize HIV-1 in an accepted in vitro model of HIV-1 infection. Accordingly, a method is disclosed for treating or inhibiting an HIV-1 infection in a subject. The methods include administering a therapeutically effective amount of one or more of the disclosed antibodies, antigen binding fragments, nucleic acid molecules, vectors, or compositions, to the subject, for example to a subject at risk of or having an HIV-1 infection.
The antibodies, antigen binding fragments, nucleic acid molecules, vectors, and compositions disclosed herein can be used for a variety of additional purposes, such as for detecting an HIV-1 infection or diagnosing HIV-1 infection in a subject, or detecting HIV-1 in a sample.
The foregoing and other features and advantages of this disclosure will become more apparent from the following detailed description of several embodiments which proceeds with reference to the accompanying figures.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
I. Summary of Terms
Unless otherwise noted, technical terms are used according to conventional usage. Definitions of common terms in molecular biology may be found in Benjamin Lewin, Genes X, published by Jones & Bartlett Publishers, 2009; and Meyers et al. (eds.), The Encyclopedia of Cell Biology and Molecular Medicine, published by Wiley-VCH in 16 volumes, 2008; and other similar references.
As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the,” refer to both the singular as well as plural, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. For example, the term “an antigen” includes single or plural antigens and can be considered equivalent to the phrase “at least one antigen.” As used herein, the term
-12WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390 “comprises” means “includes.” It is further to be understood that any and all base sizes or amino acid sizes, and all molecular weight or molecular mass values, given for nucleic acids or polypeptides are approximate, and are provided for descriptive purposes, unless otherwise indicated. Although many methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used, particular suitable methods and materials are described herein. In case of conflict, the present specification, including explanations of terms, will control. In addition, the materials, methods, and examples are illustrative only and not intended to be limiting. To facilitate review of the various embodiments, the following explanations of terms are provided:
10E8: A neutralizing antibody that specifically binds to an epitope on the MPER of gp41. The 10E8 antibody and its binding to gp41 have been previously described, see, e.g., Huang et al. Nature, 491: 406-412, 2012, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. The amino acid sequences of the heavy and light variable regions of the 10E8 antibody are set forth as SEQ ID NOs: 1 and 2.
Administration: The introduction of a composition into a subject by a chosen route. Administration can be local or systemic. For example, if the chosen route is intravenous, the composition is administered by introducing the composition into a vein of the subject. Exemplary routes of administration include, but are not limited to, oral, injection (such as subcutaneous, intramuscular, intradermal, intraperitoneal, and intravenous), sublingual, rectal, transdermal (for example, topical), intranasal, vaginal, and inhalation routes.
Amino acid substitution: The replacement of one amino acid in peptide with a different amino acid.
Anti-retroviral agent: An agent that specifically inhibits a retrovirus from replicating or infecting cells. Non-limiting examples of antiretroviral drugs include entry inhibitors (e.g., enfuvirtide), CCR5 receptor antagonists (e.g., aplaviroc, vicriviroc, maraviroc), reverse transcriptase inhibitors (e.g., lamivudine, zidovudine, abacavir, tenofovir, emtricitabine, efavirenz), protease inhibitors (e.g., lopivar, ritonavir, raltegravir, darunavir, atazanavir), maturation inhibitors (e.g., alpha interferon, bevirimat and vivecon).
Anti-retroviral therapy (ART): A therapeutic treatment for HIV-1 infection involving administration of at least one anti-retroviral agents (e.g., one, two, three or four anti-retroviral agents) to an HIV-1 infected individual. One example of an ART regimen includes treatment with a combination of tenofovir, emtricitabine and efavirenz. In some examples, ART includes Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy (HAART). One example of a HAART regimen includes treatment with a combination of tenofovir, emtricitabine and efavirenz.
Antibody: An immunoglobulin, antigen-binding fragment, or derivative thereof, that specifically binds and recognizes an analyte (antigen) such as HIV-1 gp41. The term “antibody” is used herein in the broadest sense and encompasses various antibody structures, including but not limited to monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies), and antibody fragments, so long as they exhibit the desired antigen-binding activity.
Non-limiting examples of antibodies include, for example, intact immunoglobulins and variants and fragments thereof known in the art that retain binding affinity for the antigen. Examples of antibody fragments include but are not limited to Fv, Fab, Fab', Fab'-SH, F(ab')2; diabodies; linear antibodies; singlechain antibody molecules (e.g. scFv); and multispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragments.
-13WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390
Antibody fragments include antigen binding fragments either produced by the modification of whole antibodies or those synthesized de novo using recombinant DNA methodologies (see, e.g., Kontermann and
Dubel (Ed), Antibody Engineering, Vols. 1-2, 2nd Ed., Springer Press, 2010).
A single-chain antibody (scFv) is a genetically engineered molecule containing the Vh and Vl domains of one or more antibody(ies) linked by a suitable polypeptide linker as a genetically fused single chain molecule (see, for example, Bird et al., Science, 242:423-426, 1988; Huston et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 85:5879-5883, 1988; Ahmad etal., Clin. Dev. Immunol., 2012, doi: 10.1155/2012/980250; Marbry, IDrugs, 13:543-549, 2010). The intramolecular orientation of the VH-domain and the VL-domain in a scFv, is typically not decisive for scFvs. Thus, scFvs with both possible arrangements (VH-domain-linker domainVL-domain; VL-domain-linker domain-VH-domain) may be used.
In a dsFv the Vh and Vl have been mutated to introduce a disulfide bond to stabilize the association of the chains. Diabodies also are included, which are bivalent, bispecific antibodies in which Vh and Vl domains are expressed on a single polypeptide chain, but using a linker that is too short to allow for pairing between the two domains on the same chain, thereby forcing the domains to pair with complementary domains of another chain and creating two antigen binding sites (see, for example, Holliger et al., Proc.
Natl. Acad. Sci., 90:6444-6448, 1993; Poljak et al., Structure, 2:1121-1123, 1994).
Antibodies also include genetically engineered forms such as chimeric antibodies (such as humanized murine antibodies) and heteroconjugate antibodies (such as bispecific antibodies). See also, Pierce Catalog and Handbook, 1994-1995 (Pierce Chemical Co., Rockford, IL); Kuby, J., Immunology, 3rd Ed., W.H. Freeman & Co., New York, 1997.
An “antibody that binds to the same epitope” as a reference antibody refers to an antibody that blocks binding of the reference antibody to its antigen in a competition assay by 50% or more, and conversely, the reference antibody blocks binding of the antibody to its antigen in a competition assay by 50% or more. Antibody competition assays are known, and an exemplary competition assay is provided herein.
An antibody may have one or more binding sites. If there is more than one binding site, the binding sites may be identical to one another or may be different. For instance, a naturallyoccurring immunoglobulin has two identical binding sites, a single-chain antibody or Fab fragment has one binding site, while a bispecific or bifunctional antibody has two different binding sites.
Typically, a naturally occurring immunoglobulin has heavy chains and light chains interconnected by disulfide bonds. Immunoglobulin genes include the kappa, lambda, alpha, gamma, delta, epsilon and mu constant region genes, as well as the myriad immunoglobulin variable domain genes. There are two types of light chain, lambda (λ) and kappa (k). There are five main heavy chain classes (or isotypes) which determine the functional activity of an antibody molecule: IgM, IgD, IgG, IgA and IgE.
Each heavy and light chain contains a constant region and a variable region (see, e.g., Kindt et al.
Kuby Immunology, 6th ed., W.H. Freeman and Co., page 91 (2007).) References to “Vh” or “VH” refer to the variable region of an antibody heavy chain, including that of an antigen binding fragment, such as Fv,
-14WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390 scFv, dsFv or Fab. References to “Vl” or “VL” refer to the variable domain of an antibody light chain, including that of an Fv, scFv, dsFv or Fab. In several embodiments, the Vh and Vl combine to specifically bind the antigen. In additional embodiments, only the Vh is required. For example, naturally occurring camelid antibodies consisting of a heavy chain only are functional and stable in the absence of light chain (see, e.g., Hamers-Casterman etal., Nature, 363:446-448, 1993; Sheriff et al., Nat. Struct. Biol., 3:733-736, 1996). Any of the disclosed antibodies comprises a heterologous constant regon. For example the antibody comprises a constant region that is different from a native constant region, such as a constant region including one or more modifications (such as the “LS” mutations) to increase half-life.
The Vh and Vl contain a “framework” region interrupted by three hypervariable regions, also called “complementarity-determining regions” or “CDRs” (see, e.g., Rabat etal., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 1991). The sequences of the framework regions of different light or heavy chains are relatively conserved within a species. The framework region of an antibody, that is the combined framework regions of the constituent light and heavy chains, serves to position and align the CDRs in three-dimensional space.
The CDRs are primarily responsible for binding to an epitope of an antigen. The amino acid sequence boundaries of a given CDR can be readily determined using any of a number of well-known schemes, including those described by Rabat et al. (“Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest,” 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, 1991; “Rabat” numbering scheme), Al-Lazikani et al., (JMB 273,927-948, 1997; “Chothia” numbering scheme), and Lefranc et al. (“IMGT unique numbering for immunoglobulin and T cell receptor variable domains and Ig superfamily V-like domains,” Dev. Comp. Immunol., 27:55-77, 2003; “IMGT” numbering scheme). The CDRs of each chain are typically referred to as CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 (from the N-terminus to C-terminus), and are also typically identified by the chain in which the particular CDR is located. Thus, a Vh CDR3 is the CDR3 from the Vh of the antibody in which it is found, whereas a Vl CDR1 is the CDR1 from the Vl of the antibody in which it is found. Light chain CDRs are sometimes referred to as LCDR1, LCDR2, and LCDR3. Heavy chain CDRs are sometimes referred to as HCDR1, HCDR2, and HCDR3.
A “monoclonal antibody” is an antibody obtained from a population of substantially homogeneous antibodies, that is, the individual antibodies comprising the population are identical and/or bind the same epitope, except for possible variant antibodies, for example, containing naturally occurring mutations or arising during production of a monoclonal antibody preparation, such variants generally being present in minor amounts. In contrast to polyclonal antibody preparations, which typically include different antibodies directed against different determinants (epitopes), each monoclonal antibody of a monoclonal antibody preparation is directed against a single determinant on an antigen. Thus, the modifier “monoclonal” indicates the character of the antibody as being obtained from a substantially homogeneous population of antibodies, and is not to be construed as requiring production of the antibody by any particular method. For example, the monoclonal antibodies may be made by a variety of techniques, including but not limited to the hybridoma method, recombinant DNA methods, phage-display methods, and methods utilizing transgenic
-15WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390 animals containing all or part of the human immunoglobulin loci, such methods and other exemplary methods for making monoclonal antibodies being described herein. In some examples monoclonal antibodies are isolated from a subject. Monoclonal antibodies can have conservative amino acid substitutions, which have substantially no effect on antigen binding or other immunoglobulin functions.
(See, for example, Harlow & Lane, Antibodies, A Laboratory Manual, 2nd ed. Cold Spring Harbor Publications, New York (2013).) In some embodiments, any of the antibodies disclosed herein can be a monoclonal antibody.
A “humanized” antibody or antigen binding fragment includes a human framework region and one or more CDRs from a non-human (such as a mouse, rat, or synthetic) antibody or antigen binding fragment. The non-human antibody or antigen binding fragment providing the CDRs is termed a “donor,” and the human antibody or antigen binding fragment providing the framework is termed an “acceptor.” In one embodiment, all the CDRs are from the donor immunoglobulin in a humanized immunoglobulin. Constant regions need not be present, but if they are, they can be substantially identical to human immunoglobulin constant regions, such as at least about 85-90%, such as about 95% or more identical. Hence, all parts of a humanized antibody or antigen binding fragment, except possibly the CDRs, are substantially identical to corresponding parts of natural human antibody sequences.
A “chimeric antibody” is an antibody which includes sequences derived from two different antibodies, and are typically of different species. In some examples, a chimeric antibody includes one or more CDRs and/or framework regions from one human antibody and CDRs and/or framework regions from another human antibody.
A “fully human antibody” or “human antibody” is an antibody, which includes sequences from (or derived from) the human genome, and does not include sequence from another species. In some embodiments, a human antibody includes CDRs, framework regions, and (if present) an Fc region from (or derived from) the human genome. Human antibodies can be identified and isolated using technologies for creating antibodies based on sequences derived from the human genome, for example by phage display or using transgenic animals (see, e.g., Barbas etal. Phage display: A Laboratory Manuel. 1st Ed. New York: Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2004. Print.; Lonberg, Nat. Biotech., 23: 1117-1125, 2005; Lonenberg, Curr. Opin. Immunol., 20:450-459, 2008)
Antibody or antigen binding fragment that neutralizes HIV-1: An antibody or antigen binding fragment that specifically binds to HIV-1 Env (e.g., that binds to gp41) in such a way as to inhibit a biological function associated with HIV-1 Env (such as binding to its target receptor). In several embodiments, an antibody or antigen binding fragment that neutralizes HIV-1 reduces the infectious titer of HIV-1. In some embodiments, an antibody or antigen binding fragment that specifically binds to HIV-1 Env can neutralize two or more (such as 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more) strains of HIV-1.
Broadly neutralizing antibodies to HIV-1 are distinct from other antibodies to HIV-1 in that they neutralize a high percentage of the many types of HIV-1 in circulation. Thus, a HIV-1 broadly neutralizing antibody is an antibody that reduces the infectious titer of HIV-1 by binding to and inhibiting the function of
-16WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390 related HIV-1 antigens, such as antigens that share at least 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% sequence identity with antigenic surface of the antigen. In some embodiments, broadly neutralizing antibodies to HIV-1 are distinct from other antibodies to HIV-1 in that they neutralize a high percentage (such as at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, or at least 95%) of the many types of HIV-1 in circulation.
Antibody self-reactivity or autoreactivity: A property of an antibody, whereby the antibody reacts with self-epitopes, that is epitopes of proteins and/or lipids that are produced by the subject. An antibody that does not have self-reactivity does not substantially bind to epitopes or lipids present on the membrane of a cell from a subject. Methods of determining if an antibody reacts with self epitopes are known to the person of ordinary skill in the art. In one example, antibody self reactivity is evaluated using HEp-2 cell staining, a cardiolipin binding assay, or an anti-nuclear antigen (ANA) assay. The anti-ANA assay comprises an anti-ANA LUMINEX® assay or an ANA cell-staining assay, for example. In several embodiments, a disclosed antibody is not self-reactive (or autoreactive), or is minimally self-reactive. In one non-limiting example, a disclosed antibody is not substantially more self-reactive that the 10E8 antibody.
For example the disclosed antibody or antigen binding fragment can have no more than 10% greater autoreactivity compared to the 10E8 antibody, for example as measured using HEp-2 cell staining, cardiolipin binding, an anti-ANA LUMINEX® assay, or an ANA cell-staining assay. In another nonlimiting example, a disclosed antibody noes not have self reactivity above background levels, for example, as measured using an anti-ANA LUMINEX® assay or an ANA cell-staining assay.
Biological sample: A sample obtained from a subject. Biological samples include all clinical samples useful for detection of disease or infection (for example, HIV-1 infection) in subjects, including, but not limited to, cells, tissues, and bodily fluids, such as blood, derivatives and fractions of blood (such as serum), cerebrospinal fluid; as well as biopsied or surgically removed tissue, for example tissues that are unfixed, frozen, or fixed in formalin or paraffin. In a particular example, a biological sample is obtained from a subject having or suspected of having an HIV-1 infection.
Bispecific antibody: A recombinant molecule composed of two different antigen binding domains that consequently binds to two different antigenic epitopes. Bispecific antibodies include chemically or genetically linked molecules of two antigen-binding domains. The antigen binding domains can be linked using a linker. The antigen binding domains can be monoclonal antibodies, antigen-binding fragments (e.g., Fab, scFv), or combinations thereof. A bispecific antibody comprises one or more constant domains, but does not necessarily include a constant region.
Conditions sufficient to form an immune complex: Conditions which allow an antibody or antigen binding fragment to bind to its cognate epitope to a detectably greater degree than, and/or to the substantial exclusion of, binding to substantially all other epitopes. Conditions sufficient to form an immune complex are dependent upon the format of the binding reaction and typically are those utilized in immunoassay protocols or those conditions encountered in vivo. See Harlow & Lane, Antibodies, A Laboratory Manual, 2nd ed. Cold Spring Harbor Publications, New York (2013), for a description of immunoassay formats and conditions. The conditions employed in the methods are “physiological
-17WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390 conditions” which include reference to conditions (e.g., temperature, osmolarity, pH) that are typical inside a living mammal or a mammalian cell. While it is recognized that some organs are subject to extreme conditions, the intra-organismal and intracellular environment normally lies around pH 7 (e.g., from pH 6.0 to pH 8.0, more typically pH 6.5 to 7.5), contains water as the predominant solvent, and exists at a temperature above 0°C and below 50°C. Osmolarity is within the range that is supportive of cell viability and proliferation.
The formation of an immune complex can be detected through conventional methods known to the skilled artisan, for instance immunohistochemistry, immunoprecipitation, flow cytometry, immunofluorescence microscopy, ELISA, immunoblotting (for example, Western blot), magnetic resonance imaging, CT scans, X-ray and affinity chromatography. Immunological binding properties of selected antibodies may be quantified using methods well known in the art.
Conjugate: A complex of two molecules linked together, for example, linked together by a covalent bond. In one embodiment, an antibody is linked to an effector molecule; for example, an antibody that specifically binds to HIV-1 Env covalently linked to an effector molecule. The linkage can be by chemical or recombinant means. In one embodiment, the linkage is chemical, wherein a reaction between the antibody moiety and the effector molecule has produced a covalent bond formed between the two molecules to form one molecule. A peptide linker (short peptide sequence) can optionally be included between the antibody and the effector molecule. Because conjugates can be prepared from two molecules with separate functionalities, such as an antibody and an effector molecule, they are also sometimes referred to as “chimeric molecules.”
Conservative variants: “Conservative” amino acid substitutions are those substitutions that do not substantially affect or decrease a function of a protein, such as the ability of the protein to interact with a target protein. For example, an HIV-specific antibody comprises up to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or up to 10 conservative substitutions compared to a reference antibody sequence and retain specific binding activity for HIV-1 antigen, and/or HIV-1 neutralization activity. The term conservative variation also includes the use of a substituted amino acid in place of an unsubstituted parent amino acid.
Furthermore, one of ordinary skill will recognize that individual substitutions, deletions or additions which alter, add or delete a single amino acid or a small percentage of amino acids (for instance less than 5%, in some embodiments less than 1%) in an encoded sequence are conservative variations where the alterations result in the substitution of an amino acid with a chemically similar amino acid.
Conservative amino acid substitution tables providing functionally similar amino acids are well known to one of ordinary skill in the art. The following six groups are examples of amino acids that are considered to be conservative substitutions for one another:
1) Alanine (A), Serine (S), Threonine (T);
2) Aspartic acid (D), Glutamic acid (E);
3) Asparagine (N), Glutamine (Q);
4) Arginine (R), Lysine (K);
-18WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390
5) Isoleucine (I), Leucine (L), Methionine (M), Valine (V); and
6) Phenylalanine (F), Tyrosine (Y), Tryptophan (W).
Non-conservative substitutions are those that reduce an activity or function of the HIV-specific antibody, such as the ability to specifically bind to gp41. For instance, if an amino acid residue is essential for a function of the protein, even an otherwise conservative substitution may disrupt that activity. Thus, a conservative substitution does not alter the basic function of a protein of interest.
Contacting: Placement in direct physical association; includes both in solid and liquid form, which can take place either in vivo or in vitro. Contacting includes contact between one molecule and another molecule, for example the amino acid on the surface of one polypeptide, such as an antigen, that contacts another polypeptide, such as an antibody. Contacting can also include contacting a cell for example by placing an antibody in direct physical association with a cell.
Control: A reference standard. In some embodiments, the control is a negative control, such as sample obtained from a healthy patient not infected with HIV-1. In other embodiments, the control is a positive control, such as a tissue sample obtained from a patient diagnosed with HIV-1 infection. In still other embodiments, the control is a historical control or standard reference value or range of values (such as a previously tested control sample, such as a group of HIV-1 patients with known prognosis or outcome, or group of samples that represent baseline or normal values).
A difference between a test sample and a control can be an increase or conversely a decrease. The difference can be a qualitative difference or a quantitative difference, for example a statistically significant difference. In some examples, a difference is an increase or decrease, relative to a control, of at least about 5%, such as at least about 10%, at least about 20%, at least about 30%, at least about 40%, at least about 50%, at least about 60%, at least about 70%, at least about 80%, at least about 90%, at least about 100%, at least about 150%, at least about 200%, at least about 250%, at least about 300%, at least about 350%, at least about 400%, or at least about 500%.
Degenerate variant: In the context of the present disclosure, a “degenerate variant” refers to a polynucleotide encoding a protein (for example, an antibody that specifically binds gp41 or variable region thereof) that includes a sequence that is degenerate as a result of the genetic code. There are twenty natural amino acids, most of which are specified by more than one codon. Therefore, all degenerate nucleotide sequences are included as long as the amino acid sequence of the antibody that binds gp41 encoded by the nucleotide sequence is unchanged.
Detectable marker: A detectable molecule (also known as a label) that is conjugated directly or indirectly to a second molecule, such as an antibody, to facilitate detection of the second molecule. For example, the detectable marker can be capable of detection by ELISA, spectrophotometry, flow cytometry, microscopy or diagnostic imaging techniques (such as CT scans, MRIs, ultrasound, fiberoptic examination, and laparoscopic examination). Specific, non-limiting examples of detectable markers include fluorophores, chemiluminescent agents, enzymatic linkages, radioactive isotopes and heavy metals or compounds (for example super paramagnetic iron oxide nanocrystals for detection by MRI). In one example, a “labeled
-19WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390 antibody” refers to incorporation of another molecule in the antibody. For example, the label is a detectable marker, such as the incorporation of a radiolabeled amino acid or attachment to a polypeptide of biotinyl moieties that can be detected by marked avidin (for example, streptavidin containing a fluorescent marker or enzymatic activity that can be detected by optical or colorimetric methods). Various methods of labeling polypeptides and glycoproteins are known in the art and may be used. Examples of labels for polypeptides include, but are not limited to, the following: radioisotopes or radionuclides (such as 35S or 131I), fluorescent labels (such as fluorescein isothiocyanate (F1TC), rhodamine, lanthanide phosphors), enzymatic labels (such as horseradish peroxidase, beta-galactosidase, luciferase, alkaline phosphatase), chemiluminescent markers, biotinyl groups, predetermined polypeptide epitopes recognized by a secondary reporter (such as a leucine zipper pair sequences, binding sites for secondary antibodies, metal binding domains, epitope tags), or magnetic agents, such as gadolinium chelates. In some embodiments, labels are attached by spacer arms of various lengths to reduce potential steric hindrance. Methods for using detectable markers and guidance in the choice of detectable markers appropriate for various purposes are discussed for example in Sambrook et al. (Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 4th ed, Cold Spring Harbor, New York, 2012) and Ausubel et al. (In Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley & Sons, New York, through supplement 104, 2013).
Detecting: To identify the existence, presence, or fact of something. General methods of detecting are known to the skilled artisan and may be supplemented with the protocols and reagents disclosed herein. For example, included herein are methods of detecting a cell that expresses gp41 in a subject.
Effector molecule: A molecule intended to have or produce a desired effect; for example, a desired effect on a cell to which the effector molecule is targeted. Effector molecules comprises, for example, polypeptides and small molecules. In one non-limiting example, the effector molecule is a toxin. IJie skilled artisan will understand that some effector molecules may have or produce more than one desired effect.
Epitope: An antigenic determinant. IJiese are particular chemical groups or peptide sequences on a molecule that are antigenic, i.e. that elicit a specific immune response. An antibody specifically binds a particular antigenic epitope on a polypeptide. In some examples a disclosed antibody specifically binds to an epitope on gp41.
Expression: Transcription or translation of a nucleic acid sequence. For example, an encoding nucleic acid sequence (such as a gene) can be expressed when its DNA is transcribed into an RNA or RNA fragment, which in some examples is processed to become mRNA. An encoding nucleic acid sequence (such as a gene) may also be expressed when its mRNA is translated into an amino acid sequence, such as a protein or a protein fragment. In a particular example, a heterologous gene is expressed when it is transcribed into an RNA. In another example, a heterologous gene is expressed when its RNA is translated into an amino acid sequence. Regulation of expression comprises controls on transcription, translation,
RNA transport and processing, degradation of intermediary molecules such as mRNA, or through activation, inactivation, compartmentalization or degradation of specific protein molecules after they are produced.
-20WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390
Expression Control Sequences: Nucleic acid sequences that regulate the expression of a heterologous nucleic acid sequence to which it is operatively linked. Expression control sequences are operatively linked to a nucleic acid sequence when the expression control sequences control and regulate the transcription and, as appropriate, translation of the nucleic acid sequence. Thus expression control sequences comprises appropriate promoters, enhancers, transcription terminators, a start codon (ATG) in front of a protein-encoding gene, splicing signal for introns, maintenance of the correct reading frame of that gene to permit proper translation of mRNA, and stop codons. The term “control sequences” is intended to include, at a minimum, components whose presence can influence expression, and can also include additional components whose presence is advantageous, for example, leader sequences and fusion partner sequences. Expression control sequences comprises a promoter.
A promoter is a minimal sequence sufficient to direct transcription. Also included are those promoter elements which are sufficient to render promoter-dependent gene expression controllable for celltype specific, tissue-specific, or inducible by external signals or agents; such elements may be located in the 5' or 3' regions of the gene. Both constitutive and inducible promoters are included (see for example, Bitter etal., Methods inEnzymology 153:516-544, 1987). For example, when cloning in bacterial systems, inducible promoters such as pL of bacteriophage lambda, plac, ptrp, ptac (ptrp-lac hybrid promoter) and the like may be used. In one embodiment, when cloning in mammalian cell systems, promoters derived from the genome of mammalian cells (such as metallothionein promoter) or from mammalian viruses (such as the retrovirus long terminal repeat; the adenovirus late promoter; the vaccinia virus 7.5K promoter) can be used. Promoters produced by recombinant DNA or synthetic techniques may also be used to provide for transcription of the nucleic acid sequences.
A polynucleotide can be inserted into an expression vector that contains a promoter sequence which facilitates the efficient transcription of the inserted genetic sequence of the host. The expression vector typically contains an origin of replication, a promoter, as well as specific nucleic acid sequences that allow phenotypic selection of the transformed cells.
Expression vector: A vector comprising a recombinant polynucleotide comprising expression control sequences operatively linked to a nucleotide sequence to be expressed. An expression vector comprises sufficient cis- acting elements for expression; other elements for expression can be supplied by the host cell or in an in vitro expression system. Expression vectors include all those known in the art, such as cosmids, plasmids (e.g., naked or contained in liposomes) and viruses (e.g., lentiviruses, retroviruses, adenoviruses, and adeno-associated viruses) that incorporate the recombinant polynucleotide.
Fc region: The polypeptide including the constant region of an antibody excluding the first constant immunoglobulin domain. Fc region generally refers to the last two constant region immunoglobulin domains of IgA, IgD, and IgG, and the last three constant region immunoglobulin domains of IgE and IgM. An Fc region may also include part or all of the flexible hinge N-terminal to these domains. For IgA and IgM, an Fc region may or may not include the tailpiece, and may or may not be bound by the J chain. For IgG, the Fc region includes immunoglobulin domains Cy2 and Cy3 and the lower part of the hinge between Cyl and
-21WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390
Cy2. Although the boundaries of the Fc region may vary, the human IgG heavy chain Fc region is usually defined to include residues C226 or P230 to its carboxyl-terminus, wherein the numbering is according to the EU index as in Kabat. For IgA, the Fc region includes immunoglobulin domains Ca2 and Ca3 and the lower part of the hinge between Cal and Ca2. Any of the disclosed antibodies comprises a heterologous Fc region or heterologous constant domain. For example the antibody comprises a Fc region or constant domain that is different from a native Fc region or constant domain, such as a Fc region or constant domain including one or more modifications (such as the “LS” mutations) to increase half-life.
HIV-1 Envelope protein (Env): The HIV-1 envelope protein is initially synthesized as a precursor protein of 845-870 amino acids in size, designated gpl60. Individual gpl60 polypeptides form a homotrimer and undergo glycosylation within the Golgi apparatus as well as processing to remove the signal peptide, and cleavage by a cellular protease between approximately positions 511/512 to generate separate gpl20 and gp41 polypeptide chains, which remain associated as gpl20/gp41 protomers within the homotrimer. The ectodomain (that is, the extracellular portion) of the HIV-1 Env trimer undergoes several structural rearrangements from a prefusion mature (cleaved) closed conformation that evades antibody recognition, through intermediate conformations that bind to receptors CD4 and co-receptor (either CCR5 or CXCR4), to a postfusion conformation.
The numbering used in the disclosed HIV-1 Env proteins and fragments thereof is relative to the HXB2 numbering scheme as set forth in Numbering Positions in HIV Relative to HXB2CG Bette Korber et al., Human Retroviruses and AIDS 1998: A Compilation and Analysis of Nucleic Acid and Amino Acid Sequences. Korber etal., Eds. Theoretical Biology and Biophysics Group, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
HIV-1 gpl20: A polypeptide that is part of the HIV-1 Env protein. Mature gpl20 includes approximately HIV-1 Env residues 31-511, contains most of the external, surface-exposed, domains of the HIV-1 Env trimer, and it is gpl20 which binds both to cellular CD4 receptors and to cellular chemokine receptors (such as CCR5). A mature gpl20 polypeptide is a heavily N-glycosylated extracellular polypeptide that interacts with the gp41 ectodomain to form an HIV-1 Env protomer that trimerizes to form the HIV-1 Env trimer.
HIV-1 gp41: A polypeptide that is part of the HIV-1 Env protein. Mature gp41 includes approximately HIV-1 Env residues 512-860, and includes cytosolic-, transmembrane-, and ecto-domains. The gp41 ectodomain (including approximately HIV-1 Env residues 512-644) can interact with gpl20 to form an HIV-1 Env protomer that trimerizes to form the HIV-1 Env trimer.
Gp41 includes the membrane-proximal external region (MPER), which is immediately Nterminal of the transmembrane region of gp41. The MPER is highly hydrophobic (50% of residues are hydrophobic) and is highly conserved across many HIV-1 clades (Zwick, M.B., et al., J Virol, 75 (22): p. 10892-905, 2001). The MPER of HIV-1 gp41 includes the target epitope of the 10E8 monoclonal antibody.
Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1): A retrovirus that causes immunosuppression in humans (HIV-1 disease), and leads to a disease complex known as the acquired immunodeficiency
-22WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390 syndrome (AIDS). “HIV-1 disease” refers to a well-recognized constellation of signs and symptoms (including the development of opportunistic infections) in persons who are infected by an HIV-1 virus, as determined by antibody or western blot studies. Laboratory findings associated with this disease include a progressive decline in T cells. Related viruses that are used as animal models include simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). Treatment of HIV-1 with HAART has been effective in reducing the viral burden and ameliorating the effects of HIV-1 infection in infected individuals.
HXB2 numbering system: A reference numbering system for HIV-1 protein and nucleic acid sequences, using HIV-1 HXB2 strain sequences as a reference for all other HIV-1 strain sequences. The person of ordinary skill in the art is familiar with the HXB2 numbering system, and this system is set forth in “Numbering Positions in HIV Relative to HXB2CG,” Bette Korber etal., Human Retroviruses and AIDS 1998: A Compilation and Analysis of Nucleic Acid and Amino Acid Sequences. Korber B, Kuiken CL,
Foley B, Hahn B, McCutchan F, Mellors JW, and Sodroski J, Eds. Theoretical Biology and Biophysics Group, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. HXB2 is also known as: HXBc2, for HXB clone 2; HXB2R, in the Los Alamos HIV database, with the R for revised, as it was slightly revised relative to the original HXB2 sequence; and HXB2CG in GENBANK™, for HXB2 complete genome. The numbering used in gpl20 and gp41 polypeptides disclosed herein is relative to the HXB2 numbering scheme. For reference, the amino acid sequence of HIV-1 Env of HXB2 is set forth below:

IgA: A polypeptide belonging to the class of antibodies that are substantially encoded by a recognized immunoglobulin alpha gene. In humans, this class or isotype comprises IgAi and IgA2. IgA antibodies can exist as monomers, polymers (referred to as plgA) of predominantly dimeric form, and secretory IgA. The constant chain of wild-type IgA contains an 18-amino-acid extension at its C-terminus called the tail piece (tp). Polymeric IgA is secreted by plasma cells with a 15-kDa peptide called the J chain linking two monomers of IgA through the conserved cysteine residue in the tail piece.
-23WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390
IgG: A polypeptide belonging to the class or isotype of antibodies that are substantially encoded by a recognized immunoglobulin gamma gene. In humans, this class comprises IgGi, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4. In mice, this class comprises IgGi, IgG2a, IgG2b, IgG3.
Immune complex: The binding of antibody or antigen binding fragment (such as a scFv) to a soluble antigen forms an immune complex. The formation of an immune complex can be detected through conventional methods known to the skilled artisan, for instance immunohistochemistry, immunoprecipitation, flow cytometry, immunofluorescence microscopy, ELISA, immunoblotting (for example, Western blot), magnetic resonance imaging, CT scans, X-ray and affinity chromatography. Immunological binding properties of selected antibodies may be quantified using methods well known in the art.
Isolated: A biological component (such as a nucleic acid, peptide, protein or protein complex, for example an antibody) that has been substantially separated, produced apart from, or purified away from other biological components in the cell of the organism in which the component naturally occurs, that is, other chromosomal and extra-chromosomal DNA and RNA, and proteins. Thus, isolated nucleic acids, peptides and proteins include nucleic acids and proteins purified by standard purification methods. The term also embraces nucleic acids, peptides and proteins prepared by recombinant expression in a host cell, as well as, chemically synthesized nucleic acids. A isolated nucleic acid, peptide or protein, for example an antibody, can be at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% pure.
Linker: A bi-functional molecule that can be used to link two molecules into one contiguous molecule, for example, to link an effector molecule to an antibody. In some embodiments, the provided conjugates include a linker between the effector molecule or detectable marker and an antibody. In some cases, a linker is a peptide within an antigen binding fragment (such as an Fv fragment) which serves to indirectly bond the Vh and Vl. Non-limiting examples of peptide linkers include a (G4S)i linker, a (G4S)2 linker, or a (G4S)3 linker.
The terms “conjugating,” “joining,” “bonding,” or “linking” can refer to making two molecules into one contiguous molecule; for example, linking two polypeptides into one contiguous polypeptide, or covalently attaching an effector molecule or detectable marker radionuclide or other molecule to a polypeptide, such as an scFv. In the specific context, the terms include reference to joining a ligand, such as an antibody moiety, to an effector molecule. The linkage can be either by chemical or recombinant means. “Chemical means” refers to a reaction between the antibody moiety and the effector molecule such that there is a covalent bond formed between the two molecules to form one molecule.
Nucleic acid molecule: A polymeric form of nucleotides, which may include both sense and antisense strands of RNA, cDNA, genomic DNA, and synthetic forms and mixed polymers of the above. A nucleotide refers to a ribonucleotide, deoxynucleotide or a modified form of either type of nucleotide. The term “nucleic acid molecule” as used herein is synonymous with “nucleic acid” and “polynucleotide.” A nucleic acid molecule is usually at least 10 bases in length, unless otherwise specified. The term includes
-24WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390 single- and double-stranded forms of DNA. A polynucleotide may include either or both naturally occurring and modified nucleotides linked together by naturally occurring and/or non-naturally occurring nucleotide linkages. “cDNA” refers to a DNA that is complementary or identical to an mRNA, in either single stranded or double stranded form. “Encoding” refers to the inherent property of specific sequences of nucleotides in a polynucleotide, such as a gene, a cDNA, or an mRNA, to serve as templates for synthesis of other polymers and macromolecules in biological processes having either a defined sequence of nucleotides (i.e., rRNA, tRNA and mRNA) or a defined sequence of amino acids and the biological properties resulting therefrom.
Operably linked: A first nucleic acid sequence is operably linked with a second nucleic acid sequence when the first nucleic acid sequence is placed in a functional relationship with the second nucleic acid sequence. For instance, a promoter, such as the CMV promoter, is operably linked to a coding sequence if the promoter affects the transcription or expression of the coding sequence. Generally, operably linked DNA sequences are contiguous and, where necessary to join two protein-coding regions, in the same reading frame.
Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers: The pharmaceutically acceptable carriers of use are conventional. Remington's Pharmaceutical Science, 22th ed., Pharmaceutical Press, London, UK (2012), describes compositions and formulations suitable for pharmaceutical delivery of the disclosed agents.
In general, the nature of the carrier will depend on the particular mode of administration being employed. For instance, parenteral formulations usually include injectable fluids that include pharmaceutically and physiologically acceptable fluids such as water, physiological saline, balanced salt solutions, aqueous dextrose, glycerol or the like as a vehicle. For solid compositions (e.g., powder, pill, tablet, or capsule forms), conventional non-toxic solid carriers comprises, for example, pharmaceutical grades of mannitol, lactose, starch, or magnesium stearate. In addition to biologically neutral carriers, pharmaceutical compositions to be administered can contain minor amounts of non-toxic auxiliary substances, such as wetting or emulsifying agents, added preservatives (such as on-natural preservatives), and pH buffering agents and the like, for example sodium acetate or sorbitan monolaurate. In particular examples, the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier is sterile and suitable for parenteral administration to a subject for example, by injection. In some embodiments, the active agent and pharmaceutically acceptable carrier are provided in a unit dosage form such as a pill or in a selected quantity in a vial. Unit dosage forms comprises one dosage or multiple dosages (for example, in a vial from which metered dosages of the agents can selectively be dispensed).
Polypeptide: A polymer in which the monomers are amino acid residues that are joined together through amide bonds. When the amino acids are alpha-amino acids, either the L-optical isomer or the Doptical isomer can be used, the L-isomers being preferred. The terms “polypeptide” or “protein” as used herein are intended to encompass any amino acid sequence and include modified sequences such as glycoproteins. A polypeptide includes both naturally occurring proteins, as well as those that are recombinantly or synthetically produced. A polypeptide has an amino terminal (N-terminal) end and a carboxy-terminal end. In some embodiments, the polypeptide is a disclosed antibody or a fragment thereof.
-25WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390
Polypeptide modifications: polypeptides can be modified by a variety of chemical techniques to produce derivatives having essentially the same activity and conformation as the unmodified peptides, and optionally having other desirable properties. For example, carboxylic acid groups of the protein, whether carboxyl-terminal or side chain, may be provided in the form of a salt of a pharmaceutically-acceptable cation or esterified to form a C1-C16 ester, or converted to an amide of formula NR4R2 wherein Ri and R2 are each independently H or C1-C16 alkyl, or combined to form a heterocyclic ring, such as a 5- or 6- membered ring. Amino groups of the peptide, whether amino-terminal or side chain, may be in the form of a pharmaceutically-acceptable acid addition salt, such as the HC1, HBr, acetic, benzoic, toluene sulfonic, maleic, tartaric and other organic salts, or may be modified to C1-C16 alkyl or dialkyl amino or further converted to an amide.
Hydroxyl groups of the peptide side chains can be converted to C1-C16 alkoxy or to a C1-C16 ester using well-recognized techniques. Phenyl and phenolic rings of the peptide side chains can be substituted with one or more halogen atoms, such as F, Cl, Br or I, or with C1-C16 alkyl, C1-C16 alkoxy, carboxylic acids and esters thereof, or amides of such carboxylic acids. Methylene groups of the peptide side chains can be extended to homologous C2-C4 alkylenes. Thiols can be protected with any one of a number of wellrecognized protecting groups, such as acetamide groups.
Recombinant: A recombinant nucleic acid is one that has a sequence that is not naturally occurring or has a sequence that is made by an artificial combination of two otherwise separated segments of sequence. This artificial combination can be accomplished by chemical synthesis or, more commonly, by the artificial manipulation of isolated segments of nucleic acids, for example, by genetic engineering techniques. A recombinant protein is one that has a sequence that is not naturally occurring or has a sequence that is made by an artificial combination of two otherwise separated segments of sequence. In several embodiments, a recombinant protein is encoded by a heterologous (for example, recombinant) nucleic acid that has been introduced into a host cell, such as a bacterial or eukaryotic cell. The nucleic acid can be introduced, for example, on an expression vector having signals capable of expressing the protein encoded by the introduced nucleic acid or the nucleic acid can be integrated into the host cell chromosome.
Sequence identity: The similarity between amino acid sequences is expressed in terms of the similarity between the sequences, otherwise referred to as sequence identity. Sequence identity is frequently measured in terms of percentage identity (or similarity or homology); the higher the percentage, the more similar the two sequences are. Homologs or variants of a polypeptide will possess a relatively high degree of sequence identity when aligned using standard methods.
Methods of alignment of sequences for comparison are well known in the art. Various programs and alignment algorithms are described in: Smith and Waterman, Adv. Appl. Math. 2:482, 1981; Needleman and Wunsch, J. Mol. Biol. 48:443, 1970; Pearson and Lipman, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 85:2444, 1988; Higgins and Sharp, Gene 73:237, 1988; Higgins and Sharp, CABIOS 5:151, 1989; Corpet etal., Nucleic Acids Research 16.T0881, 1988; and Pearson and Lipman, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 85:2444, 1988.

PCT/US2016/060390
Altschul et al., Nature Genet. 6:119, 1994, presents a detailed consideration of sequence alignment methods and homology calculations.
The NCBI Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) (Altschul etal., J. Mol. Biol. 215:403, 1990) is available from several sources, including the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI, Bethesda, MD) and on the internet, for use in connection with the sequence analysis programs blastp, blastn, blastx, tblastn and tblastx. A description of how to determine sequence identity using this program is available on the NCBI website on the internet.
Homo logs and variants of a Vl or a Vh of an antibody that specifically binds a polypeptide are typically characterized by possession of at least about 75%, for example at least about 80%, 85%, 90%,
91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% sequence identity counted over the full length alignment with the amino acid sequence of interest. Proteins with even greater similarity to the reference sequences will show increasing percentage identities when assessed by this method, such as at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 98%, or at least 99% sequence identity. When less than the entire sequence is being compared for sequence identity, homologs and variants will typically possess at least 80% sequence identity over short windows of 10-20 amino acids, and may possess sequence identities of at least 85% or at least 90% or 95% depending on their similarity to the reference sequence. Methods for determining sequence identity over such short windows are available at the NCBI website on the internet. One of skill in the art will appreciate that these sequence identity ranges are provided for guidance only; it is entirely possible that strongly significant homologs could be obtained that fall outside of the ranges provided.
Terms used to describe sequence relationships between two or more nucleotide sequences or amino acid sequences include “reference sequence,” “selected from,” “comparison window,” “identical,” “percentage of sequence identity,” “substantially identical,” “complementary,” and “substantially complementary.”
For sequence comparison of nucleic acid sequences, typically one sequence acts as a reference sequence, to which test sequences are compared. When using a sequence comparison algorithm, test and reference sequences are entered into a computer, subsequence coordinates are designated, if necessary, and sequence algorithm program parameters are designated. Default program parameters are used. Methods of alignment of sequences for comparison are well known in the art. Optimal alignment of sequences for comparison can be conducted, e.g., by the local homology algorithm of Smith & Waterman, Adv. Appl. Math. 2:482, 1981, by the homology alignment algorithm of Needleman & Wunsch, J. Mol. Biol. 48:443, 1970, by the search for similarity method of Pearson & Lipman, Proc. Nat’l. Acad. Sci. USA 85:2444, 1988, by computerized implementations of these algorithms (GAP, BESTF1T, FASTA, and TFASTA in the Wisconsin Genetics Software Package, Genetics Computer Group, 575 Science Dr., Madison, WI), or by manual alignment and visual inspection (see, e.g., Sambrook et al. (Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 4th ed, Cold Spring Harbor, New York, 2012) and Ausubel et al. (In Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, lohn Wiley & Sons, New York, through supplement 104, 2013). One example of a useful
-27WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390 algorithm is PILEUP. PILEUP uses a simplification of the progressive alignment method of Feng & Doolittle, J. Mol. Evol. 35:351-360, 1987. The method used is similar to the method described by Higgins & Sharp, CABIOS 5:151-153, 1989. Using PILEUP, a reference sequence is compared to other test sequences to determine the percent sequence identity relationship using the following parameters: default gap weight (3.00), default gap length weight (0.10), and weighted end gaps. PILEUP can be obtained from the GCG sequence analysis software package, e.g., version 7.0 (Devereaux et al., Nuc. Acids Res. 12:387395, 1984.
Another example of algorithms that are suitable for determining percent sequence identity and sequence similarity are the BLAST and the BLAST 2.0 algorithm, which are described in Altschul et al., J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-410, 1990 and Altschul et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 25:3389-3402, 1977. Software for performing BLAST analyses is publicly available through the National Center for Biotechnology Information (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). The BLASTN program (for nucleotide sequences) uses as defaults a word length (W) of 11, alignments (B) of 50, expectation (E) of 10, M=5, N=-4, and a comparison of both strands. The BLASTP program (for amino acid sequences) uses as defaults a word length (W) of 3, and expectation (E) of 10, and the BLOSUM62 scoring matrix (see Henikoff & Henikoff, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 89:10915, 1989). An oligonucleotide is a linear polynucleotide sequence of up to about 100 nucleotide bases in length.
Specifically bind: When referring to an antibody or antigen binding fragment, refers to a binding reaction which determines the presence of a target protein, peptide, or polysaccharide in the presence of a heterogeneous population of proteins and other biologies. Thus, under designated conditions, an antibody binds preferentially to a particular target protein, peptide or polysaccharide (such as an antigen present on the surface of a pathogen, for example HIV-1 Env) and does not bind in a significant amount to other proteins or polysaccharides present in the sample or subject. Specific binding can be determined by methods known in the art. With reference to an antibody-antigen complex, specific binding of the antigen and antibody has a Kd of less than about 107 Molar, such as less than about 108 Molar, 109, or even less than about IO10 Molar.
Kd refers to the dissociation constant for a given interaction, such as a polypeptide ligand interaction or an antibody antigen interaction. For example, for the bimolecular interaction of an antibody or antigen binding fragment and an antigen it is the concentration of the individual components of the bimolecular interaction divided by the concentration of the complex.
The antibodies disclosed herein specifically bind to a defined target (or multiple targets, in the case of a bispecific antibody). Thus, an antibody that specifically binds to an epitope on gp41 is an antibody that binds substantially to gp41, including cells or tissue expressing gp41, substrate to which the gp41 is attached, or gp41 in a biological specimen. It is, of course, recognized that a certain degree of non-specific interaction may occur between an antibody or conjugate including an antibody (such as an antibody that specifically binds gp41 or conjugate including such antibody) and a non-target (such as a cell that does not express gp41). Typically, specific binding results in a much stronger association between the antibody and
-28WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390 protein or cells bearing the antigen than between the antibody and protein or cells lacking the antigen. Specific binding typically results in greater than 2-fold, such as greater than 5-fold, greater than 10-fold, or greater than 100-fold increase in amount of bound antibody (per unit time) to a protein including the epitope or cell or tissue expressing the target epitope as compared to a protein or cell or tissue lacking this epitope. Specific binding to a protein under such conditions requires an antibody that is selected for its specificity for a particular protein. A variety of immunoassay formats are appropriate for selecting antibodies or other ligands specifically immunoreactive with a particular protein. For example, solid-phase ELISA immunoassays are routinely used to select monoclonal antibodies specifically immunoreactive with a protein. See Harlow & Lane, Antibodies, A Laboratory Manual, 2nd ed., Cold Spring Harbor Publications, New York (2013), for a description of immunoassay formats and conditions that can be used to determine specific immunoreactivity.
Subject: Living multi-cellular vertebrate organisms, a category that includes human and nonhuman mammals. In an example, a subject is a human. In a particular example, the subject is a newborn infant. In an additional example, a subject is selected that is in need of inhibiting of an HIV-1 infection. For example, the subject is either uninfected and at risk of HIV-1 infection or is infected in need of treatment.
Therapeutically effective amount: The amount of agent, such as a disclosed gp41 specific antibody or antigen binding fragment that is sufficient to prevent, treat (including prophylaxis), reduce and/or ameliorate the symptoms and/or underlying causes of a disorder or disease, for example to prevent, inhibit, and/or treat HIV-1 infection. In some embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount is sufficient to reduce or eliminate a symptom of a disease, such as AIDS. For instance, this can be the amount necessary to inhibit or prevent HIV-1 replication or to measurably alter outward symptoms of the HIV-1 infection. In general, this amount will be sufficient to measurably inhibit HIV-1 replication or infectivity. Ideally, a therapeutically effective amount provides a therapeutic effect without causing a substantial cytotoxic effect in the subject.
In some embodiments, administration of a therapeutically effective amount of a disclosed antibody or antigen binding fragment that binds to gp41 can reduce or inhibit an HIV-1 infection (for example, as measured by infection of cells, or by number or percentage of subjects infected by HIV-1, or by an increase in the survival time of infected subjects) by a desired amount, for example by at least 10%, at least 20%, at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 98%, or even at least 100% (elimination or prevention of detectable HIV-1 infection), as compared to a suitable control.
Several preparations disclosed herein are administered in therapeutically effective amounts. A therapeutically effective amount of an antibody or antigen binding fragment that specifically binds gp41 that is administered to a subject will vary depending upon a number of factors associated with that subject, for example the overall health and/or weight of the subject. A therapeutically effective amount can be determined by varying the dosage and measuring the resulting therapeutic response, such as, for example, a reduction in viral titer. Therapeutically effective amounts also can be determined through various in vitro, in vivo or in situ immunoassays.
-29WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390
A therapeutically effective amount encompasses a fractional dose that contributes in combination with previous or subsequent administrations to attaining a therapeutic response. For example, a therapeutically effective amount of an agent can be administered in a single dose, or in several doses, for example daily, during a course of treatment lasting several days or weeks. However, the therapeutically effective amount can depend on the subject being treated, the severity and type of the condition being treated, and the manner of administration. A unit dosage form of the agent can be packaged in a therapeutic amount, or in multiples of the therapeutic amount, for example, in a vial (e.g., with a pierceable lid) or syringe having sterile components.
Transformed: A transformed cell is a cell into which a nucleic acid molecule has been introduced by molecular biology techniques. As used herein, the term transformation encompasses all techniques by which a nucleic acid molecule might be introduced into such a cell, including transfection with viral vectors, transformation with plasmid vectors, and introduction of DNA by electroporation, lipofection, and particle gun acceleration.
Treating or preventing a disease: Preventing a disease refers to inhibiting the full development of a disease or condition, for example, in a subject who is at risk of or has an HIV-1 infection. Treating a disease refers to a therapeutic intervention that ameliorates a sign or symptom of a disease or pathological condition after it has begun to develop. The term “ameliorating,” with reference to a disease or pathological condition, refers to any observable beneficial effect of the treatment. The beneficial effect can be evidenced, for example, by a delayed onset of clinical symptoms of the disease in a susceptible subject, a reduction in severity of some or all clinical symptoms of the disease, a slower progression of the disease, a reduction in the viral load, an improvement in the overall health or well-being of the subject, or by other parameters well known in the art that are specific to the particular disease. A “prophylactic” treatment is a treatment administered to a subject who does not exhibit signs of a disease for the purpose of reducing the risk of developing pathology.
The term “prevents” does not necessarily mean that an agent completely eliminates the disease or condition, so long as at least one characteristic of the disease or condition is eliminated. Thus, an antibody that inhibits or prevents an infection, can, but does not necessarily completely, eliminate such an infection, so long as the infection is measurably diminished, for example, by at least about 50%, such as by at least about 70%, or about 80%, or even by about 90% the infection in the absence of the agent, or in comparison to a reference agent.
Vector: A vector comprises nucleic acid sequences (for example, mRNA or DNA) that permit it to replicate in a host cell, such as an origin of replication. A vector can also include one or more selectable marker genes and other genetic elements known in the art. Viral vectors are recombinant nucleic acid vectors having at least some nucleic acid sequences derived from one or more viruses. In some embodiments, a viral vector is provided that comprises one or more nucleic acid molecules encoding a disclosed antibody or antigen binding fragment that specifically binds to HIV-1 gp41 and neutralizes HIV-1. In some embodiments, the viral vector can be an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector. A replication
-30WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390 deficient viral vector is a vector that requires complementation of one or more regions of the viral genome required for replication due to a deficiency in at least one replication-essential gene function. For example, such that the viral vector does not replicate in typical host cells, especially those in a human patient that could be infected by the viral vector in the course of a therapeutic method.
VRCOl-class antibody, heavy chain, or light chain: A class of antibodies that bind to the CD4 binding site on gpl20 and can neutralize HIV-1 infection, as well as heavy and light chains thereof. The prototypical member of the VRCOl-class of antibodies - VRC01 - can neutralize over 90% of circulating HIV-1 isolates with an average 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of ~0.3 Ug/ml. Despite overall sequence differences between VRCOl-class antibodies, antibody-gpl20 co-crystal structures revealed VRCOl-class recognition of gpl20 to be consistent across the class. Indeed, three-dimensional structure analysis of HIV-1 gpl20 from different HIV-1 clades in complexes with different VRCOl-class antibodies from multiple donors show that the VRCOl-class antibodies share striking similarity in physical structure, and revealed several antibody features that contribute to gpl20 binding and HIV-1 neutralization. The substantial structural and ontogenetic characterization of VRCOl-class of antibodies allows recognition of the members of this class by interrogation of antibody sequence.
For example, the Vh of a VRCOl-class antibody has a VH1-2 germline origin, wherein the VRCOlclass Vh encoding sequence is from 20-35% (such as 25-30%) divergent from the corresponding germline gene sequence. The VRCOl-class Vh includes a tryptophan residue at kabat position 50 (Vh Trpso), an asparagine residue at kabat position 58 (Vh Asms), and an arginine residue at kabat position 71 (Vh Arg7i). These residues form specific interactions with amino acids on gpl20 that contribute to the VRCOl-class specificity and neutralization properties. When a VRCOl-class antibody is bound to gpl20, Vh Trpso forms a hydrogen bond with gpl20 Asn2so, Vh Aspsx forms hydrogen bonds with gpl20 Arg456 and Gly458, Vh Arg7i forms salt bridges with gpl20 Asp368, and Vh TrplOOB forms a hydrogen bond with gpl20 Asn279Further, the VL of a VRCOl-class antibody has an IGKV1-33, IGKV3-11, IGKV3-15, IGKV3-20, or IGFV2-14 germline origin, wherein the VRCOl-class Vl encoding sequence is from 15-35% (such as 2530%) divergent from the corresponding germline gene sequence. The VRCOl-class Vl includes either a FCDR1 (kabat positioning) with a 2-6 amino acid deletion, or a FCDR1 with glycine residues at kabat positions 28 and 30. The deletion or the presence of the glycine residues provides flexibility that allows the FCDR1 to avoid structural clash with the D loop of gpl20 when the antibody is bound to the CD4 binding site. Further, the VRCOl-class Vl includes an FCDR3 that is five amino acids in length (according to kabat positioning) and includes a hydrophobic residue (such as leucine or tyrosine) at kabat position 91, deletion of kabat positions 92-95, and a glutamate or glutamine residue at kabat position 96. The hydrophobic residue at position 91 packs against the backbone of gpl20 Foop D, and the glutamate or glutamine residue at kabat position 96 interacts with a conserved electropositive region on the base of the gpl20 V5 domain.
Non-limiting examples of antibodies that fall within the VRCOl-class include the VRC01, VRC03,
VRC07, VRC07-523, VRC13, 3BCN117, 12A12, 12A21, VRC-PG04, NIH45-46, VRC23, VRC-CH30,

II. Description of Several Embodiments
Isolated monoclonal antibodies and antigen binding fragments that specifically bind an epitope on gp41 are provided. The antibodies and antigen binding fragments can be fully human. In several embodiments, the antibodies and antigen binding fragments can be used to neutralize HIV-1 infection. Also disclosed herein are compositions including the antibodies and antigen binding fragments and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Nucleic acids encoding the antibodies or antigen binding fragments, expression vectors (such as adeno-associated virus (AAV) viral vectors) including these nucleic acids are also provided.
The antibodies, antigen binding fragments, nucleic acid molecules, expression vectors, and compositions can be used for research, diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. For example, the monoclonal antibodies and antigen binding fragments can be used to diagnose or treat a subject with an HIV-1 infection, or can be administered prophylactically to prevent HIV-1 infection in a subject. In some embodiments, the antibodies can be used to determine HIV-1 titer in a subject.
A. Neutralizing Monoclonal Antibodies and Antigen Binding Fragments
The parent 10E8 antibody neutralizes 98% of a panel of 200 HIV-1 pseudotyped viruses with an IC50 of less than 50 Ug/ml (see Example 1). However, as disclosed in Example 1, the solubility of the 10E8 antibody may not be optimal for commercial production purposes. Earlier attempts at modifying the 10E8 antibody successfully improved the solubility and potency of the antibody, but caused an increase in autoreactivity. In some embodiments, disclosed herein are modified 10E8 antibodies and antigen binding fragments having the CDRs of the 10E8 antibody and framework region amino acid substitutions compared to the parent 10E8 antibody sequence that impart an improved combination of neutralization, solubility, and auto-reactivity properties relative to 10E8. In additional embodiments, the modified 10E8 antibodies include amino acid substitutions in the CDRs that impart an improved combination of neutralization, solubility, and auto-reactivity properties relative to 10E8.
The discussion of monoclonal antibodies below refers to monoclonal antibodies that include a Vh and a Vl including CDRs with reference to the IMGT numbering scheme (unless the context indicates otherwise). The person of ordinary skill in the art will understand that various CDR numbering schemes (such as the Rabat, Chothia or IMGT numbering schemes) can be used to determine CDR positions. The amino acid sequence and the CDR positions of the heavy and light chains of the 10E8 antibody, and several variants thereof, according to the IMGT numbering scheme are shown in Table 1.

The disclosed modified 10E8 antibodies specifically bind to the MPER of gp41 at an epitope designated as the 10E8 epitope, which is included on the peptide sequence provided as NEQELLELDKWASLWNWFDITNWLWYIR (SEQ ID NO: 34). The 10E8 epitope has been elucidated by solving the structure of the 10E8 antibody in complex with a gp41 peptide (see Huang et al, Nature, 491: 406-412, 2012, incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). As described in Huang et al. (Nature, 491: 406-412, 2012) and PCT Pub. U.S. Pub. 2014/0348785A1, amino acids at Vh kabat positions 28, 31, 33, 50, 52, 52B, 52C, 53, 56, 58, and 97-100J, and Vl kabat positions 91 and 95B, of the 10E8 antibody contribute to the buried surface area of the antibody interface with gp41. Accordingly, in some embodiments, any of the modified 10E8 antibodies or antigen binding fragments disclosed herein comprises the corresponding amino acids of the parent 10E8 antibody at Vh kabat positions 28, 31, 33, 50, 52, 52B, 52C, 53, 56, 58, and 97-100J, and Vl kabat positions 91 and 95B, of the 10E8. These residues are D, N, W, R, T, P, G, E, S, D, K, Y, Y, D, F, W, S, G, Y, P, P, G, E, and E, respectively. In some embodiments, the Vh of any of the modified 10E8 antibodies or antigen binding fragments provided herein comprises an arginine residue at kabat position 50 and an aspartate residue at kabat position 58.
In some embodiments, any of the disclosed modified 10E8 antibodies or antigen binding fragments that specifically bind to gp41 and neutralize HIV-1 can further comprise one or more of the gain of function amino acid substitutions listed in any one of Tables 3, 4, 9, or 10.
In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen binding fragment can also be distinguished by neutralization breadth. For example, in some embodiments, the antibody or antigen binding fragment can neutralize at least 80% (such as at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99%) of the HIV-1 isolates listed in FIG. 16A with an IC50 of less than 50 pg/ml. The person of ordinary skill in the art is familiar with methods of measuring the neutralization breadth and potency of an HIV-1 Env specific monoclonal antibody, for example such methods include the single-round HIV-1 Env-pseudoviruses infection of TZM-bl cells. Exemplary pseudovirus neutralization assays and panels of HIV-1 pseudovirus are described for example, in Li et al., J Virol 79, 10108-10125, 2005, Seaman et al, J. Virol., 84:1439-1452, 2010; Sarzotti-Kelsoe etal., J.
Immunol. Methods, 409:131-46, 2014; and WO2011/038290, each of which is incorporated by reference herein.
In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen binding fragment can also be distinguished by its solubility in aqueous solution. For example, in some embodiments, the antibody or antigen binding
-51WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390 fragment (for example, including 10E8v4 SlOOcF or 10E8v4 V5R SlOOcF variable regions) can dissolve to a concentration of at least 1.0 mg/ml (such as at least 1.0 mg/ml, at least 2.0 mg/ml, at least 3.0 mg/ml, at least 4.0 mg/ml, at least 5.0 mg/ml, at least 6.0 mg/ml, at least 7.0 mg/ml, at least 8.0 mg/ml, at least 9.0 mg/ml, or at least 10.0 mg/ml) in phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.4) at room temperature (e.g., 20-22 degrees Celsius) and remains dissolved for at least 12 hours (such as at least 24 hours, at least 48 hours, at least one week, at least two weeks, or more time). In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen binding fragment (for example, including 10E8v4 SlOOcF or 10E8v4 V5R SlOOcF variable regions) can dissolve to a concentration of at least 10 mg/ml (such as at least 15 mg/ml, at least 20 mg/ml, at least 25 mg/ml, at least 30 mg/ml, at least 35 mg/ml, at least 40 mg/ml, at least 45 mg/ml, or at least 50 mg/ml) in phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.4) at room temperature (e.g., 20-22 degrees Celsius) and remains dissolved for at least 12 hours (such as at least 24 hours, at least 48 hours, at least one week, at least two weeks, or more time). In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen binding fragment (for example, including 10E8v4 SlOOcF or 10E8v4 V5R SlOOcF variable regions) can dissolve to a concentration of at least 10 mg/ml (such as at least 15 mg/ml, at least 20 mg/ml, at least 25 mg/ml, at least 30 mg/ml, at least 35 mg/ml, at least 40 mg/ml, at least 45 mg/ml, or at least 50 mg/ml) in phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.4) at room temperature (e.g., 20-22 degrees Celsius) and remains dissolved for at least 12 hours (such as at least 24 hours, at least 48 hours, at least one week, at least two weeks, or more time). In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen binding fragment (for example, including 10E8v4 SlOOcF or 10E8v4 V5R SlOOcF variable regions) can dissolve to a concentration of at least 20 mg/ml in phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.4) at room temperature (e.g., 20-22 degrees Celsius) and remains dissolved for at least 12 hours (such as at least 24 hours, at least 48 hours, at least one week, at least two weeks, or more time). In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen binding fragment (for example, including 10E8v4 SlOOcF or 10E8v4 V5R SlOOcF variable regions) can dissolve to a concentration of at least 40 mg/ml in phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.4) at room temperature (e.g., 20-22 degrees Celsius) and remains dissolved for at least 12 hours (such as at least 24 hours, at least 48 hours, at least one week, at least two weeks, or more time). In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen binding fragment (for example, including 10E8v4 SlOOcF or 10E8v4 V5R SlOOcF variable regions) can dissolve to a concentration of at least 30 mg/ml in phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.4) at room temperature (e.g., 20-22 degrees Celsius) and remains dissolved for at least 12 hours (such as at least 24 hours, at least 48 hours, at least one week, at least two weeks, or more time). In one embodiment, the phosphate buffered saline includes NaCl (137 mM), KC1 (2.7 mM), Na2HPO4 (10 mM), KH2PO4 (1.8 mM) at pH 7.4. In some embodiments, the phosphate buffered saline further includes CaCl2 (1 mM) and MgCl2 (0.5 mM). The person of skill in the art is familiar with methods of determining if a protein remains in solution over time. For example, the concentration of the protein dissolved in an aqueous solution can be tested over time using standard methods. In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen binding fragment can also be distinguished by its auto-reactivity, that is, its binding to self antigens. For example, in some embodiments, a disclosed antibody or antigen binding fragment comprises an autoreactivity that is comparable to that of the 10E8 antibody. For example the antibody or antigen binding fragment can have not more than 10%
-52WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390 greater autoreactivity compared to the 10E8 antibody as measured using a standard assay, such as HEp-2 staining assay or cardiolipin binding assay.
The antibody or antigen binding fragment can be a human antibody or fragment thereof. Chimeric antibodies are also provided. The antibody or antigen binding fragment comprises any suitable framework region, such as (but not limited to) a human framework region. Human framework regions, and mutations that can be made in a human antibody framework regions, are known in the art (see, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 5,585,089, which is incorporated herein by reference). Alternatively, a heterologous framework region, such as, but not limited to a mouse or monkey framework region, can be included in the heavy or light chain of the antibodies. (See, for example, Jones et al., Nature 321:522, 1986; Riechmann et al.,
Nature 332:323, 1988; Verhoeyen et al., Science 239:1534, 1988; Carter et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 89:4285, 1992; Sandhu, Crit. Rev. Biotech. 12:437, 1992; and Singer et al., J. Immunol. 150:2844, 1993.)
The antibody can be of any isotype. The antibody can be, for example, an IgM or an IgG antibody, such as IgGi, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG/t. The class of an antibody that specifically binds gp41 can be switched with another. In one aspect, a nucleic acid molecule encoding Vl or Vh is isolated using methods well-known in the art, such that it does not include any nucleic acid sequences encoding the constant region of the light or heavy chain, respectively. A nucleic acid molecule encoding Vl or Vh is then operatively linked to a nucleic acid sequence encoding a Cl or Ch from a different class of immunoglobulin molecule. This can be achieved using a vector or nucleic acid molecule that comprises a Cl or Ch chain, as known in the art. For example, an antibody that specifically binds gp41, that was originally IgG may be class switched to an IgM. Class switching can be used to convert one IgG subclass to another, such as from IgGi to IgG2, IgG3, or IgG/t.
In some examples, the disclosed antibodies are oligomers of antibodies, such as dimers, trimers, tetramers, pentamers, hexamers, septamers, octomers and so on.
(a) Binding affinity
In several embodiments, the antibody or antigen binding fragment can specifically bind gp41 with an affinity (e.g., measured by Kd) of no more than 1.0 χ 108 M, no more than 5.0 χ 108 M, no more than 1.0 χ 109 M, no more than 5.0 χ 109 M, no more than 1.0 χ IO10 M, no more than 5.0 χ IO10 M, or no more than 1.0 χ 1011 M. Kd can be measured, for example, by a radiolabeled antigen binding assay (RIA) performed with the Fab version of an antibody of interest and its antigen using known methods. In one assay, solution binding affinity of Fabs for antigen is measured by equilibrating Fab with a minimal concentration of (125I)labeled antigen in the presence of a titration series of unlabeled antigen, then capturing bound antigen with an anti-Fab antibody-coated plate (see, e.g., Chen etal., J. Mol. Biol. 293:865-881 (1999)). To establish conditions for the assay, MICROTITER® multi-well plates (Thermo Scientific) are coated overnight with 5 pg/ml of a capturing anti-Fab antibody (Cappel Labs) in 50 mM sodium carbonate (pH 9.6), and subsequently blocked with 2% (w/v) bovine serum albumin in PBS for two to five hours at room temperature (approximately 23° C.). In a non-adsorbent plate (Nunc #269620), 100 μΜ or 26 pM [ 125Γ|antigen are mixed with serial dilutions of a Fab of interest (e.g., consistent with assessment of the anti-VEGF
-53WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390 antibody, Fab-12, in Presta et al., Cancer Res. 57:4593-4599 (1997)). The Fab of interest is then incubated overnight; however, the incubation may continue for a longer period (e.g., about 65 hours) to ensure that equilibrium is reached. Thereafter, the mixtures are transferred to the capture plate for incubation at room temperature (e.g., for one hour). The solution is then removed and the plate washed eight times with 0.1% polysorbate 20 (TWEEN-20®) in PBS. When the plates have dried, 150 μΐ/well of scintillant (MICROSCINT-20™; Packard) is added, and the plates are counted on a TOPCOUNT™ gamma counter (Packard) for ten minutes. Concentrations of each Fab that give less than or equal to 20% of maximal binding are chosen for use in competitive binding assays.
In another assay, Kd can be measured using surface plasmon resonance assays using a BIACORE®2000 or a BIACORE®-3000 (BIAcore, Inc., Piscataway, N.J.) at 25°C with immobilized antigen CM5 chips at ~10 response units (RU). Briefly, carboxymethylated dextran biosensor chips (CM5, BIACORE®, Inc.) are activated with N-ethyl-N'-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and Nhydroxysuccinimide (NHS) according to the supplier's instructions. Antigen is diluted with 10 mM sodium acetate, pH 4.8, to 5 pg/ml (-0.2 μΜ) before injection at a flow rate of 5 1/minute to achieve approximately 10 response units (RU) of coupled protein. Following the injection of antigen, 1 M ethanolamine is injected to block unreacted groups. For kinetics measurements, two-fold serial dilutions of Fab (0.78 nM to 500 nM) are injected in PBS with 0.05% polysorbate 20 (TWEEN-20™) surfactant (PBST) at 25°C at a flow rate of approximately 25 l/min. Association rates (kon) and dissociation rates (koff) are calculated using a simple one-to-one Langmuir binding model (BIACORE® Evaluation Software version 3.2) by simultaneously fitting the association and dissociation sensorgrams. The equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd) is calculated as the ratio koff/kon. See, e.g., Chen et al., J. Mol. Biol. 293:865-881 (1999). If the on-rate exceeds 106 M_1 s’1 by the surface plasmon resonance assay above, then the on-rate can be determined by using a fluorescent quenching technique that measures the increase or decrease in fluorescence emission intensity (excitation=295 nm; emission=340 nm, 16 nm band-pass) at 25° C. of a 20 nM anti-antigen antibody (Fab form) in PBS, pH 7.2, in the presence of increasing concentrations of antigen as measured in a spectrometer, such as a stop-flow equipped spectrophometer (Aviv Instruments) or a 8000-series SLM-AMINCO™ spectrophotometer (ThermoSpectronic) with a stirred cuvette.
(b) Multispecific antibodies
In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen binding fragment is included on a multispecific antibody, such as a bi-specific antibody or a tri-specific antibody. Such multispecific antibodies can be produced by known methods, such as crosslinking two or more antibodies, antigen binding fragments (such as scFvs) of the same type or of different types. Exemplary methods of making multispecific antibodies include those described in PCT Pub. No. WO2013/163427, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. Suitable crosslinkers include those that are heterobifunctional, having two distinctly reactive groups separated by an appropriate spacer (such as m-maleimidobenzoyl-N-hydroxysuccinimide ester) or
-54WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390 homobifunctional (such as disuccinimidyl suberate). Such linkers are available from Pierce Chemical
Company, Rockford, Ill.
In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen binding fragment is included on a bispecific antibody that that specifically binds to gp41 and further specifically binds to CD3. Examples of CD3 binding domains that can be included on the bispecific antibody or antigen binding fragment are known and include those disclosed in PCT Pub. No. WO2013/163427, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
Various types of multi-specific antibodies are known. Bispecific single chain antibodies can be encoded by a single nucleic acid molecule. Examples of bispecific single chain antibodies, as well as methods of constructing such antibodies are known in the art (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 8,076,459, 8,017,748,
8,007,796, 7,919,089, 7,820,166, 7,635,472, 7,575,923, 7,435,549, 7,332,168, 7,323,440, 7,235,641,
7,229,760, 7,112,324, 6,723,538, incorporated by reference herein). Additional examples of bispecific single chain antibodies can be found in PCT application No. WO 99/54440; Mack, J. Immunol., 158:39653970, 1997; Mack, PNAS, 92:7021-7025, 1995; Kufer, Cancer Immunol. Immunother., 45:193-197, 1997; Loffler, Blood, 95:2098-2103, 2000; and Bruhl, J. Immunol., 166:2420-2426, 2001. Production of bispecific Fab-scFv (“bibody”) molecules are described, for example, in Schoonjans etal. (J. Immunol. 165:7050-57, 2000) and Willems et al. (J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci. 786:161-76, 2003). For bibodies, a scFv molecule can be fused to one of the VL-CL (L) or VH-CH1 chains, e.g., to produce a bibody one scFv is fused to the C-term of a Fab chain.
(c) Fragments
Antigen binding fragments are encompassed by the present disclosure, such as Fab, F(ab')2, and Fv which include a heavy chain and Vl and specifically bind gp41. In several embodiments, the antigen binding fragment includes the heavy and light chain variable regions from the 10E8v4 SlOOcF or 10E8v4 V5R SlOOcF antibody.
These antibody fragments retain the ability to selectively bind with the antigen and are “antigenbinding” fragments. Non-limiting examples of such fragments include:
(1) Fab, the fragment which contains a monovalent antigen-binding fragment of an antibody molecule, can be produced by digestion of whole antibody with the enzyme papain to yield an intact light chain and a portion of one heavy chain;
(2) Fab', the fragment of an antibody molecule can be obtained by treating whole antibody with pepsin, followed by reduction, to yield an intact light chain and a portion of the heavy chain; two Fab' fragments are obtained per antibody molecule;
(3) (Fab')2, the fragment of the antibody that can be obtained by treating whole antibody with the enzyme pepsin without subsequent reduction; F(ab')2 is a dimer of two Fab' fragments held together by two disulfide bonds;
(4) Fv, a genetically engineered fragment containing the Vl and Vl expressed as two chains;
and
-55WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390 (5) Single chain antibody (such as scFv), defined as a genetically engineered molecule containing the Vh and the Vl linked by a suitable polypeptide linker as a genetically fused single chain molecule (see, e.g., Ahmad etal., Clin. Dev. Immunol., 2012, doi: 10.1155/2012/980250; Marbry, IDrugs, 13:543-549, 2010). The intramolecular orientation of the VH-domain and the VL-domain in a scFv, is not decisive for the provided antibodies (e.g., for the provided multispecific antibodies). Thus, scFvs with both possible arrangements (VH-domain-linker domain-VL-domain; VL-domain-linker domain-VH-domain) may be used.
(6) A dimer of a single chain antibody (scFVQ), defined as a dimer of a scFV. This has also been termed a “miniantibody.”
Methods of making these fragments are known in the art (see for example, Harlow and Lane, Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, 2nd, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York, 2013).
In some embodiments, the antigen binding fragment can be an Fv antibody, which is typically about 25 kDa and contain a complete antigen-binding site with three CDRs per each heavy chain and each light chain. If the Vh and the Vl are expressed non-contiguously, the chains of the Fv antibody are typically held together by noncovalent interactions. However, these chains tend to dissociate upon dilution, so methods have been developed to crosslink the chains through glutaraldehyde, intermolecular disulfides, or a peptide linker. Thus, in one example, the Fv can be a disulfide stabilized Fv (dsFv), wherein the Vh and the Vl are chemically linked by disulfide bonds. In an additional example, the Fv fragments include Vh and Vl chains connected by a peptide linker. These single-chain antigen binding proteins (scFv) can be prepared by constructing a nucleic acid molecule encoding the Vh and Vl domains connected by an oligonucleotide. The nucleic acid molecule is inserted into an expression vector, which is subsequently introduced into a host cell such as a mammalian cell. The recombinant host cells synthesize a single polypeptide chain with a linker peptide bridging the two V domains. Methods for producing scFvs are known in the art (see Whitlow et al., Methods: a Companion to Methods in Enzymology, Vol. 2, page 97, 1991; Bird et al., Science 242:423,
1988; U.S. Patent No. 4,946,778; Pack et al., Bio/Technology 11:1271, 1993; Ahmad etal., Clin. Dev. Immunol., 2012, doi:10.1155/2012/980250; Marbry, IDrugs, 13:543-549, 2010). Dimers of a single chain antibody (scFW), are also contemplated.
Antigen binding fragments can be prepared by proteolytic hydrolysis of the antibody or by expression in a host cell (such as an E. coli cell) of DNA encoding the fragment. Antigen binding fragments can also be obtained by pepsin or papain digestion of whole antibodies by conventional methods. For example, antigen binding fragments can be produced by enzymatic cleavage of antibodies with pepsin to provide a 5S fragment denoted F(ab j2. This fragment can be further cleaved using a thiol reducing agent, and optionally a blocking group for the sulfhydryl groups resulting from cleavage of disulfide linkages, to produce 3.5S Fab' monovalent fragments. Alternatively, an enzymatic cleavage using pepsin produces two monovalent Fab' fragments and an Fc fragment directly (see U.S. Patent No. 4,036,945 and U.S. Patent No. 4,331,647, and references contained therein; Nisonhoff et al., Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 89:230, 1960; Porter,
-56WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390
Biochem. J. 73:119, 1959; Edelman et al., Methods in Enzymology, Vol. l,page 422, Academic Press, 1967;
and Coligan etal. at sections 2.8.1-2.8.10 and 2.10.1-2.10.4).
Other methods of cleaving antibodies, such as separation of heavy chains to form monovalent lightheavy chain fragments, further cleavage of fragments, or other enzymatic, chemical, or genetic techniques may also be used, so long as the fragments bind to the antigen that is recognized by the intact antibody.
Antigen binding single Vh domains, called domain antibodies (dAb), have also been identified from a library of murine Vh genes amplified from genomic DNA of immunized mice (Ward et al. Nature 341:544-546, 1989). Human single immunoglobulin variable domain polypeptides capable of binding antigen with high affinity have also been described (see, for example, PCT Publication Nos. WO 2005/035572 and WO 2003/002609). The CDRs disclosed herein can also be included in a dAb.
In some embodiments, one or more of the heavy and/or light chain complementarity determining regions (CDRs) from a disclosed antibody (such as the HC6-S74Y-511/rL3-6mut or H6-511-4mut/rL3-6mut antibody) is expressed on the surface of another protein, such as a scaffold protein. The expression of domains of antibodies on the surface of a scaffolding protein are known in the art (see e.g., Liu et al., J. Virology 85(17): 8467-8476, 2011). Such expression creates a chimeric protein that retains the binding for gp41. In some specific embodiments, one or more of the heavy chain CDRs is grafted onto a scaffold protein, such as one or more of heavy chain CDR1, CDR2, and/or CDR3. One or more CDRs can also be included in a diabody or another type of single chain antibody molecule.
(d) Variants
In certain embodiments, amino acid sequence variants of the antibodies provided herein are contemplated. For example, it may be desirable to improve the binding affinity and/or other biological properties of the antibody. Amino acid sequence variants of an antibody may be prepared by introducing appropriate modifications into the nucleotide sequence encoding the antibody, or by peptide synthesis. Such modifications include, for example, deletions from, and/or insertions into and/or substitutions of residues within the amino acid sequences of the antibody. Any combination of deletion, insertion, and substitution can be made to arrive at the final construct, provided that the final construct possesses the desired characteristics, e.g., antigen-binding.
In certain embodiments, antibody variants having one or more amino acid substitutions are provided. Sites of interest for substitutional mutagenesis include the CDRs and the framework regions. Amino acid substitutions may be introduced into an antibody of interest and the products screened for a desired activity, e.g., retained/improved antigen binding, decreased immunogenicity, or improved ADCC or CDC.
The variants typically retain amino acid residues necessary for correct folding and stabilizing between the Vh and the Vl regions, and will retain the charge characteristics of the residues in order to preserve the low pi and low toxicity of the molecules. Amino acid substitutions (such as conservative amino
-57WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390 acid substitutions) can be made in the Vh and the Vl regions, for example to increase production yield or solubility.
In certain embodiments, substitutions, insertions, or deletions may occur within one or more CDRs so long as such alterations do not substantially reduce the ability of the antibody to bind antigen. For example, conservative alterations (e.g., conservative substitutions as provided herein) that do not substantially reduce binding affinity may be made in CDRs. In certain embodiments of the variant Vh and Vl sequences provided above, each CDR either is unaltered, or contains no more than one, two or three amino acid substitutions.
To increase binding affinity of the antibody, the VLand Vh segments can be randomly mutated, such as within HCDR3 region or the LCDR3 region, in a process analogous to the in vivo somatic mutation process responsible for affinity maturation of antibodies during a natural immune response. Thus in vitro affinity maturation can be accomplished by amplifying Vh and Vl regions using PCR primers complementary to the HCDR3 or LCDR3, respectively. In this process, the primers have been spiked with a random mixture of the four nucleotide bases at certain positions such that the resultant PCR products encode VHand Vl segments into which random mutations have been introduced into the Vh and/or Vl CDR3 regions. These randomly mutated Vh and Vl segments can be tested to determine the binding affinity for gp4f. Methods of in vitro affinity maturation are known (see, e.g., Chowdhury, Methods Mol. Biol. 207:179-196 (2008)), and Hoogenboom et al. inMethods in Molecular Biology 178:1-37 (O'Brien etal., ed., Human Press, Totowa, N.J., (2001).)
A useful method for identification of residues or regions of an antibody that may be targeted for mutagenesis is called “alanine scanning mutagenesis” as described by Cunningham and Wells (1989) Science, 244:1081-1085. In this method, a residue or group of target residues (e.g., charged residues such as arg, asp, his, lys, and glu) are identified and replaced by a neutral or negatively charged amino acid (e.g., alanine or poly alanine) to determine whether the interaction of the antibody with antigen is affected. Further substitutions may be introduced at the amino acid locations demonstrating functional sensitivity to the initial substitutions. Alternatively, or additionally, a crystal structure of an antigen-antibody complex is used to identify contact points between the antibody and antigen. Such contact residues and neighboring residues may be targeted or eliminated as candidates for substitution. Variants may be screened to determine whether they contain the desired properties.
In certain embodiments, an antibody or antigen binding fragment is altered to increase or decrease the extent to which the antibody or antigen binding fragment is glycosylated. Addition or deletion of glycosylation sites may be conveniently accomplished by altering the amino acid sequence such that one or more glycosylation sites is created or removed.
Where the antibody comprises an Fc region, the carbohydrate attached thereto may be altered.
Native antibodies produced by mammalian cells typically comprise a branched, biantennary oligosaccharide that is generally attached by an N-linkage to Asn297 of the CH2 domain of the Fc region. See, e.g., Wright etal. TIBTECH 15:26-32 (1997). The oligosaccharide may include various carbohydrates, e.g., mannose,
-58WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390
N-acetyl glucosamine (GlcNAc), galactose, and sialic acid, as well as a fucose attached to a GlcNAc in the “stem” of the biantennary oligosaccharide structure. In some embodiments, modifications of the oligosaccharide in an antibody may be made in order to create antibody variants with certain improved properties.
In one embodiment, antibody variants are provided having a carbohydrate structure that lacks fucose attached (directly or indirectly) to an Fc region. For example, the amount of fucose in such antibody may be from 1% to 80%, from 1% to 65%, from 5% to 65% or from 20% to 40%. The amount of fucose is determined by calculating the average amount of fucose within the sugar chain at Asn297, relative to the sum of all glycostructures attached to Asn 297 (e.g. complex, hybrid and high mannose structures) as measured by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, as described in WO 2008/077546, for example. Asn297 refers to the asparagine residue located at about position 297 in the Fc region; however, Asn297 may also be located about ±3 amino acids upstream or downstream of position 297, i.e., between positions 294 and 300, due to minor sequence variations in antibodies. Such fucosylation variants may have improved ADCC function. See, e.g., US Patent Publication Nos. US 2003/0157108 (Presta, L.); US 2004/0093621 (Kyowa Hakko Kogyo Co., Ltd). Examples of publications related to “defucosylated” or “fucose-deficient” antibody variants include: US 2003/0157108; WO 2000/61739; WO 2001/29246; US 2003/0115614; US
2002/0164328; US 2004/0093621; US 2004/0132140; US 2004/0110704; US 2004/0110282; US 2004/0109865; WO 2003/085119; WO 2003/084570; WO 2005/035586; WO 2005/035778; W02005/053742; W02002/031140; Okazaki etal. J. Mol. Biol. 336:1239-1249 (2004); Yamane-Ohnuki et al. Biotech. Bioeng. 87: 614 (2004). Examples of cell lines capable of producing defucosylated antibodies include Lee 13 CHO cells deficient in protein fucosylation (Ripka et al. Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 249:533545 (1986); US Pat Appl No US 2003/0157108 Al, Presta, L; and WO 2004/056312 Al, Adams et al., especially at Example 11), and knockout cell lines, such as alpha-1,6-fucosyltransferase gene, FUT8, knockout CHO cells (see, e.g., Yamane-Ohnuki et al. Biotech. Bioeng. 87: 614 (2004); Kanda, Y. et al., Biotechnol. Bioeng., 94(4):680-688 (2006); and W02003/085107).
Antibodies variants are further provided with bisected oligosaccharides, e.g., in which a biantennary oligosaccharide attached to the Fc region of the antibody is bisected by GlcNAc. Such antibody variants may have reduced fucosylation and/or improved ADCC function. Examples of such antibody variants are described, e.g., in WO 2003/011878 (Jean-Mairet et al.): U.S. Pat. No. 6,602,684 (Umana etal.): and US 2005/0123546 (Umana et al.). Antibody variants with at least one galactose residue in the oligosaccharide attached to the Fc region are also provided. Such antibody variants may have improved CDC function.
Such antibody variants are described, e.g., in WO 1997/30087 (Patel etal.): WO 1998/58964 (Raju, S.); and WO 1999/22764 (Raju, S.).
In several embodiments, the constant region of the antibody includes one or more amino acid substitutions to optimize in vivo half-life of the antibody. The serum half-life of IgG Abs is regulated by the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn). Thus, in several embodiments, the antibody includes an amino acid substitution that increases binding to the FcRn. Several such substitutions are known to the person of
-59WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390 ordinary skill in the art, such as substitutions at IgG constant regions T250Q and M428L (see, e.g., Hinton et al., J Immunol., 176:346-356, 2006); M428L and N434S (the “LS” mutation, see, e.g., Zalevsky, etal., Nature Biotechnology, 28:157-159, 2010); N434A (see, e.g., Petkova et al., Int. Immunol., 18:1759-1769, 2006); T307A, E380A, and N434A (see, e.g., Petkova et al., Int. Immunol., 18:1759-1769, 2006); and M252Y, S254T, and T256E (see, e.g., Dall’Acqua et al., J. Biol. Chem., 281:23514-23524, 2006).The disclosed antibodies and antigen binding fragments can be linked to a Fc polypeptide including any of the substitutions listed above, for example, the Fc polypeptide comprises the M428L and N434S substitutions.
In some embodiments, the constant region of the antibody includes one of more amino acid substitutions to optimize antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). ADCC is mediated primarily through a set of closely related Fey receptors. In some embodiments, the antibody includes one or more amino acid substitutions that increase binding to FcyRIIIa. Several such substitutions are known to the person of ordinary skill in the art, such as substitutions at IgG constant regions S239D and I332E (see, e.g., Lazar etal., Proc. Natl., Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 103:4005-4010, 2006); and S239D, A330L, and I332E (see, e.g., Lazar et al., Proc. Natl., Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 103:4005-4010, 2006).
Combinations of the above substitutions are also included, to generate an IgG constant region with increased binding to FcRn and FcyRIIIa. The combinations increase antibody half-life and ADCC. For example, such combination include antibodies with the following amino acid substitution in the Fc region: (1) S239D/I332E and T250Q/M428L; (2) S239D/I332E and M428L/N434S; (3) S239D/I332E and N434A; (4) S239D/I332E and T307A/E380A/N434A; (5) S239D/I332E and M252Y / S254T/T256E; (6) S239D/A330L/I332E and 250Q/M428L; (7) S239D/A330L/I332E and M428L/N434S; (8) S239D/A330L/I332E and N434A; (9) S239D/A330L/I332E and T307A/E380A/N434A; or (10) S239D/A330L/I332E and M252Y/S254T/T256E. In some examples, the antibodies, or an antigen binding fragment thereof is modified such that it is directly cytotoxic to infected cells, or uses natural defenses such as complement, antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), or phagocytosis by macrophages.
In certain embodiments, an antibody provided herein may be further modified to contain additional nonproteinaceous moieties that are known in the art and readily available. The moieties suitable for derivatization of the antibody include but are not limited to water soluble polymers. Non-limiting examples of water soluble polymers include, but are not limited to, polyethylene glycol (PEG), copolymers of ethylene glycol/propylene glycol, carboxymethylcellulose, dextran, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, poly1,3-dioxolane, poly-l,3,6-trioxane, ethylene/maleic anhydride copolymer, polyaminoacids (either homopolymers or random copolymers), and dextran or poly(n-vinyl pyrrolidone)polyethylene glycol, propropylene glycol homopolymers, prolypropylene oxide/ethylene oxide co-polymers, polyoxyethylated polyols (e.g., glycerol), polyvinyl alcohol, and mixtures thereof. Polyethylene glycol propionaldehyde may have advantages in manufacturing due to its stability in water. The polymer may be of any molecular weight, and may be branched or unbranched. The number of polymers attached to the antibody may vary, and if more than one polymer are attached, they can be the same or different molecules, fn general, the number and/or type of polymers used for derivatization can be determined based on considerations
-60WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390 including, but not limited to, the particular properties or functions of the antibody to be improved, whether the antibody derivative will be used in a therapy under defined conditions, etc.
The antibody or antigen binding fragment can be derivatized or linked to another molecule (such as another peptide or protein). In general, the antibody or antigen binding fragment is derivatized such that the binding to gp41 is not affected adversely by the derivatization or labeling. For example, the antibody or antigen binding fragment can be functionally linked (by chemical coupling, genetic fusion, noncovalent association or otherwise) to one or more other molecular entities, such as another antibody (for example, a bi-specific antibody or a diabody), a detectable marker, an effector molecule, or a protein or peptide that can mediate association of the antibody or antibody portion with another molecule (such as a streptavidin core region or a polyhistidine tag).
B. Conjugates
The antibodies and antigen binding fragments that specifically bind to an epitope on gp41 can be conjugated to an agent, such as an effector molecule or detectable marker, using any number of means known to those of skill in the art. Both covalent and noncovalent attachment means may be used. One of skill in the art will appreciate that various effector molecules and detectable markers can be used, including (but not limited to) toxins and radioactive agents such as 1251, 32P, 14C, 3H and 35S and other labels, target moieties and ligands, etc. The choice of a particular effector molecule or detectable marker depends on the particular target molecule or cell, and the desired biological effect.
The choice of a particular effector molecule or detectable marker depends on the particular target molecule or cell, and the desired biological effect. Thus, for example, the effector molecule can be a cytotoxin that is used to bring about the death of a particular target cell (such as an HIV-1 infected cell). In other embodiments, the effector molecule can be a cytokine, such as IL-15; conjugates including the cytokine can be used, e.g., to stimulate immune cells locally.
The procedure for attaching an effector molecule or detectable marker to an antibody or antigen binding fragment varies according to the chemical structure of the effector. Polypeptides typically contain a variety of functional groups; such as carboxylic acid (COOH), free amine (-NH2) or sulfhydryl (-SH) groups, which are available for reaction with a suitable functional group on a polypeptide to result in the binding of the effector molecule or detectable marker. Alternatively, the antibody or antigen binding fragment is derivatized to expose or attach additional reactive functional groups. The derivatization may involve attachment of any of a number of known linker molecules such as those available from Pierce Chemical Company, Rockford, IL. The linker can be any molecule used to join the antibody or antigen binding fragment to the effector molecule or detectable marker. The linker is capable of forming covalent bonds to both the antibody or antigen binding fragment and to the effector molecule or detectable marker. Suitable linkers are well known to those of skill in the art and include, but are not limited to, straight or branched-chain carbon linkers, heterocyclic carbon linkers, or peptide linkers. Where the antibody or antigen binding fragment and the effector molecule or detectable marker are polypeptides, the linkers may
-61WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390 be joined to the constituent amino acids through their side groups (such as through a disulfide linkage to cysteine) or to the alpha carbon amino and carboxyl groups of the terminal amino acids.
In view of the large number of methods that have been reported for attaching a variety of radiodiagnostic compounds, radiotherapeutic compounds, labels (such as enzymes or fluorescent molecules), toxins, and other agents to antibodies one skilled in the art will be able to determine a suitable method for attaching a given agent to an antibody or antigen binding fragment or other polypeptide. For example, the antibody or antigen binding fragment can be conjugated with effector molecules such as small molecular weight drugs such as Monomethyl Auristatin E (MMAE), Monomethyl Auristatin F (MMAF), maytansine, maytansine derivatives, including the derivative of maytansine known as DM1 (also known as mertansine), or other agents to make an antibody drug conjugate (ADC). In several embodiments, conjugates of an antibody or antigen binding fragment and one or more small molecule toxins, such as a calicheamicin, maytansinoids, dolastatins, auristatins, a trichothecene, and CC1065, and the derivatives of these toxins that have toxin activity, are provided.
The antibody or antigen binding fragment can be conjugated with a detectable marker; for example, a detectable marker capable of detection by ELISA, spectrophotometry, flow cytometry, microscopy or diagnostic imaging techniques (such as computed tomography (CT), computed axial tomography (CAT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear magnetic resonance imaging NMRI), magnetic resonance tomography (MTR), ultrasound, fiberoptic examination, and laparoscopic examination). Specific, nonlimiting examples of detectable markers include fluorophores, chemiluminescent agents, enzymatic linkages, radioactive isotopes and heavy metals or compounds (for example super paramagnetic iron oxide nanocrystals for detection by MRI). For example, useful detectable markers include fluorescent compounds, including fluorescein, fluorescein isothiocyanate, rhodamine, 5-dimethylamine-l-napthalenesulfonyl chloride, phycoerythrin, lanthanide phosphors and the like. Bioluminescent markers are also of use, such as luciferase, Green fluorescent protein (GFP), Yellow fluorescent protein (YFP). An antibody or antigen binding fragment can also be conjugated with enzymes that are useful for detection, such as horseradish peroxidase, β- galactosidase, luciferase, alkaline phosphatase, glucose oxidase and the like. When an antibody or antigen binding fragment is conjugated with a detectable enzyme, it can be detected by adding additional reagents that the enzyme uses to produce a reaction product that can be discerned. For example, when the agent horseradish peroxidase is present the addition of hydrogen peroxide and diaminobenzidine leads to a colored reaction product, which is visually detectable. An antibody or antigen binding fragment may also be conjugated with biotin, and detected through indirect measurement of avidin or streptavidin binding. It should be noted that the avidin itself can be conjugated with an enzyme or a fluorescent label.
The antibody or antigen binding fragment can be conjugated with a paramagnetic agent, such as gadolinium. Paramagnetic agents such as superparamagnetic iron oxide are also of use as labels. Antibodies can also be conjugated with lanthanides (such as europium and dysprosium), and manganese. An antibody or antigen binding fragment may also be labeled with a predetermined polypeptide epitopes recognized by a
-62WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390 secondary reporter (such as leucine zipper pair sequences, binding sites for secondary antibodies, metal binding domains, epitope tags).
The antibody or antigen binding fragment can also be conjugated with a radiolabeled amino acid. The radiolabel may be used for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. For instance, the radiolabel may be used to detect gp41 and gp41 expressing cells by x-ray, emission spectra, or other diagnostic techniques. Examples of labels for polypeptides include, but are not limited to, the following radioisotopes or radionucleotides: 3H, 14C, 15N, 35S, 90Y, 99Tc, 1HIn, 125I, 131I.
Means of detecting such detectable markers are well known to those of skill in the art. Thus, for example, radiolabels may be detected using photographic film or scintillation counters, fluorescent markers may be detected using a photodetector to detect emitted illumination. Enzymatic labels are typically detected by providing the enzyme with a substrate and detecting the reaction product produced by the action of the enzyme on the substrate, and colorimetric labels are detected by simply visualizing the colored label.
The average number of effector molecule or detectable marker moieties per antibody or antigen binding fragment in a conjugate can range, for example, from 1 to 20 moieties per antibody or antigen binding fragment. In certain embodiments, the average number of effector molecule or detectable marker moieties per antibody or antigen binding fragment in a conjugate range from about 1 to about 2, from about 1 to about 3, about 1 to about 8; from about 2 to about 6; from about 3 to about 5; or from about 3 to about 4. The loading (for example, effector molecule/antibody ratio) of an conjugate may be controlled in different ways, for example, by: (i) limiting the molar excess of effector molecule-linker intermediate or linker reagent relative to antibody, (ii) limiting the conjugation reaction time or temperature, (iii) partial or limiting reductive conditions for cysteine thiol modification, (iv) engineering by recombinant techniques the amino acid sequence of the antibody such that the number and position of cysteine residues is modified for control of the number or position of linker-effector molecule attachments.
C. Polynucleotides and Expression
Nucleic acids molecules (for example, cDNA molecules) encoding the amino acid sequences of antibodies, antigen binding fragments, and conjugates that specifically bind gp41 are provided. Nucleic acids encoding these molecules can readily be produced by one of skill in the art, using the amino acid sequences provided herein (such as the CDR sequences and Vh and Vl sequences), sequences available in the art (such as framework or constant region sequences), and the genetic code. In several embodiments, a nucleic acid molecule can encode the Vh, the Vl, or both the Vh and Vl (for example in a bicistronic expression vector) of a disclosed antibody or antigen binding fragment. In several embodiments, the nucleic acid molecules can be expressed in a host cell (such as a mammalian cell) to produce a disclosed antibody or antigen binding fragment.
One of skill in the art can readily use the genetic code to construct a variety of functionally equivalent nucleic acids, such as nucleic acids which differ in sequence but which encode the same antibody sequence, or encode a conjugate or fusion protein including the Vl and/or Vh nucleic acid sequence.
-63WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390
In a non-limiting example, an isolated nucleic acid molecule encodes the Vh of a disclosed antibody or antigen binding fragment and includes the nucleic acid sequence set forth as any one of SEQ ID NOs: 20, 21, 44, 45, 78, or 79. In a non-limiting example, an isolated nucleic acid molecule encodes the Vl of a disclosed antibody or antigen binding fragment and includes the nucleic acid sequence set forth as any one of SEQ ID NOs: 24, 46 or 47. In a non-limiting example, an isolated nucleic acid molecule encodes the Vh and Vl of a disclosed antibody or antigen binding fragment and includes the nucleic acid sequences set forth as any one of SEQ ID NOs: 44 and 46, respectively; SEQ ID NOs: 44 and 47, respectively, SEQ ID NOs: 45 and 46, respectively, SEQ ID NOs: 45 and 47, respectively (10E8v4), SEQ ID NOs: 78 and 47, respectively (10E8v4 SlOOcF), or SEQ ID NOs: 79 and 47, respectively (10E8v4 V5R, SlOOcF).
Nucleic acid sequences encoding the antibodies, antigen binding fragments, and conjugates that specifically bind gp41 can be prepared by any suitable method including, for example, cloning of appropriate sequences or by direct chemical synthesis by methods such as the phosphotriester method of Narang et al., Meth. Enzymol. 68:90-99, 1979; the phosphodiester method of Brown et al., Meth. Enzymol. 68:109-151, 1979; the diethylphosphoramidite method of Beaucage etal., Tetra. Lett. 22:1859-1862, 1981; the solid phase phosphoramidite triester method described by Beaucage & Caruthers, Tetra. Letts. 22(20):1859-1862, 1981, for example, using an automated synthesizer as described in, for example, Needham-VanDevanter et al., Nucl. Acids Res. 12:6159-6168, 1984; and, the solid support method of U.S. Patent No. 4,458,066. Chemical synthesis produces a single stranded oligonucleotide. This can be converted into double stranded DNA by hybridization with a complementary sequence or by polymerization with a DNA polymerase using the single strand as a template.
Exemplary nucleic acids can be prepared by cloning techniques. Examples of appropriate cloning and sequencing techniques, and instructions sufficient to direct persons of skill through many cloning exercises are known (see, e.g., Sambrook et al. (Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 4th ed., Cold Spring Harbor, New York, 2012) and Ausubel et al. (In Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley & Sons, New York, through supplement 104, 2013). Product information from manufacturers of biological reagents and experimental equipment also provide useful information. Such manufacturers include the SIGMA Chemical Company (Saint Louis, MO), R&D Systems (Minneapolis, MN), Pharmacia Amersham (Piscataway, NJ), CLONTECH Laboratories, Inc. (Palo Alto, CA), Chem Genes Corp., Aldrich Chemical Company (Milwaukee, WI), Glen Research, Inc., GIBCO BRL Life Technologies, Inc. (Gaithersburg, MD), Fluka Chemica-Biochemika Analytika (Fluka Chemie AG, Buchs, Switzerland), Invitrogen (Carlsbad, CA), and Applied Biosystems (Foster City, CA), as well as many other commercial sources known to one of skill.
Nucleic acids can also be prepared by amplification methods. Amplification methods include polymerase chain reaction (PCR), the ligase chain reaction (LCR), the transcription-based amplification system (TAS), the self-sustained sequence replication system (3SR). A wide variety of cloning methods, host cells, and in vitro amplification methodologies are well known to persons of skill.
The nucleic acid molecules can be expressed in a recombinantly engineered cell such as bacteria, plant, yeast, insect and mammalian cells. The antibodies, antigen binding fragments, and conjugates can be
-64WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390 expressed as individual Vh and/or Vl chain (linked to an effector molecule or detectable marker as needed), or can be expressed as a fusion protein. Methods of expressing and purifying antibodies and antigen binding fragments are known and further described herein (see, e.g., Al-Rubeai (ed), Antibody Expression and Production, Springer Press, 2011). An immunoadhesin can also be expressed. Thus, in some examples, nucleic acids encoding a Vh and Vl, and immunoadhesin are provided. The nucleic acid sequences can optionally encode a leader sequence.
To create a scFv the Vh- and VL-encoding DNA fragments can be operatively linked to another fragment encoding a flexible linker, e.g., encoding the amino acid sequence (Gly4-Ser)3, such that the Vh and Vl sequences can be expressed as a contiguous single-chain protein, with the Vl and Vh domains joined by the flexible linker (see, e.g., Bird etal., Science 242:423-426, 1988; Huston etal., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:5879-5883, 1988; McCafferty etal., Nature 348:552-554, 1990; Kontermann and Dubel (Ed), Antibody Engineering, Vols. 1-2, 2nd Ed., Springer Press, 2010; Harlow and Lane, Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, 2nd, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York, 2013,). Optionally, a cleavage site can be included in a linker, such as a furin cleavage site.
The nucleic acid encoding a Vh and/or the Vl optionally can encode an Fc region (immunoadhesin). The Fc region can be an IgA, IgM or IgG Fc region. The Fc region can be an optimized Fc region, as described in U.S. Published Patent Application No. 20100/093979, incorporated herein by reference. In one example, the immunoadhesin is an IgGi Fc.
The single chain antibody may be monovalent, if only a single Vh and Vl are used, bivalent, if two Vh and Vl are used, or polyvalent, if more than two Vh and Vl are used. Bispecific or polyvalent antibodies may be generated that bind specifically to gp41 and another antigen, such as, but not limited to CD3. The encoded Vh and Vl optionally comprises a furin cleavage site between the Vh and Vl domains.
Those of skill in the art are knowledgeable in the numerous expression systems available for expression of proteins including E. coli, other bacterial hosts, yeast, and various higher eukaryotic cells such as the COS, CHO, HeLa and myeloma cell lines.
One or more DNA sequences encoding the antibodies, antigen binding fragments, or conjugates can be expressed in vitro by DNA transfer into a suitable host cell. The cell may be prokaryotic or eukaryotic. The term also includes any progeny of the subject host cell. It is understood that all progeny may not be identical to the parental cell since there may be mutations that occur during replication. Methods of stable transfer, meaning that the foreign DNA is continuously maintained in the host, are known in the art. Hybridomas expressing the antibodies of interest are also encompassed by this disclosure.
The expression of nucleic acids encoding the antibodies and antigen binding fragments described herein can be achieved by operably linking the DNA or cDNA to a promoter (which is either constitutive or inducible), followed by incorporation into an expression cassette. The promoter can be any promoter of interest, including a cytomegalovirus promoter and a human T cell lymphotrophic virus promoter (HTLV)-l. Optionally, an enhancer, such as a cytomegalovirus enhancer, is included in the construct. The cassettes can be suitable for replication and integration in either prokaryotes or eukaryotes. Typical expression cassettes
-65WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390 contain specific sequences useful for regulation of the expression of the DNA encoding the protein. For example, the expression cassettes comprises appropriate promoters, enhancers, transcription and translation terminators, initiation sequences, a start codon (i.e., ATG) in front of a protein-encoding gene, splicing signal for introns, sequences for the maintenance of the correct reading frame of that gene to permit proper translation of mRNA, and stop codons. The vector can encode a selectable marker, such as a marker encoding drug resistance (for example, ampicillin or tetracycline resistance).
To obtain high level expression of a cloned gene, it is desirable to construct expression cassettes which contain, at the minimum, a strong promoter to direct transcription, a ribosome binding site for translational initiation (internal ribosomal binding sequences), and a transcription/translation terminator. For E. coli, this comprises a promoter such as the T7, trp, lac, or lambda promoters, a ribosome binding site, and preferably a transcription termination signal. For eukaryotic cells, the control sequences comprises a promoter and/or an enhancer derived from, for example, an immunoglobulin gene, HTFV, SV40 or cytomegalovirus, and a polyadenylation sequence, and can further include splice donor and/or acceptor sequences (for example, CMV and/or HTFV splice acceptor and donor sequences). The cassettes can be transferred into the chosen host cell by well-known methods such as transformation or electroporation for E. coli and calcium phosphate treatment, electroporation or lipofection for mammalian cells. Cells transformed by the cassettes can be selected by resistance to antibiotics conferred by genes contained in the cassettes, such as the amp, gpt, neo and hyg genes.
When the host is a eukaryote, such methods of transfection of DNA as calcium phosphate coprecipitates, conventional mechanical procedures such as microinjection, electroporation, insertion of a plasmid encased in liposomes, or virus vectors may be used. Eukaryotic cells can also be cotransformed with polynucleotide sequences encoding the antibody, labeled antibody, or antigen biding fragment, and a second foreign DNA molecule encoding a selectable phenotype, such as the herpes simplex thymidine kinase gene. Another method is to use a eukaryotic viral vector, such as simian virus 40 (SV40) or bovine papilloma virus, to transiently infect or transform eukaryotic cells and express the protein (see for example, Viral Expression Vectors, Springer press, Muzyczka ed., 2011). One of skill in the art can readily use an expression systems such as plasmids and vectors of use in producing proteins in cells including higher eukaryotic cells such as the COS, CHO, HeFa and myeloma cell lines.
Also provided is a population of cells comprising at least one host cell described herein. The population of cells can be a heterogeneous population comprising the host cell comprising any of the recombinant expression vectors described, in addition to at least one other cell, e.g., a host cell (e.g., a T cell), which does not comprise any of the recombinant expression vectors, or a cell other than a T cell, e.g., a B cell, a macrophage, a neutrophil, an erythrocyte, a hepatocyte, an endothelial cell, an epithelial cell, a muscle cell, a brain cell, etc. Alternatively, the population of cells can be a substantially homogeneous population, in which the population comprises mainly host cells (e.g., consisting essentially of) comprising the recombinant expression vector. The population also can be a clonal population of cells, in which all cells of the population are clones of a single host cell comprising a recombinant expression vector, such that all
-66WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390 cells of the population comprise the recombinant expression vector. In one embodiment of the invention, the population of cells is a clonal population comprising host cells comprising a recombinant expression vector as described herein
Modifications can be made to a nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide described herein without diminishing its biological activity. Some modifications can be made to facilitate the cloning, expression, or incorporation of the targeting molecule into a fusion protein. Such modifications are well known to those of skill in the art and include, for example, termination codons, a methionine added at the amino terminus to provide an initiation, site, additional amino acids placed on either terminus to create conveniently located restriction sites, or additional amino acids (such as poly His) to aid in purification steps. In addition to recombinant methods, the immunoconjugates, effector moieties, and antibodies of the present disclosure can also be constructed in whole or in part using standard peptide synthesis well known in the art.
Once expressed, the antibodies, antigen binding fragments, and conjugates can be purified according to standard procedures in the art, including ammonium sulfate precipitation, affinity columns, column chromatography, and the like (see, generally, Simpson ed., Basic methods in Protein Purification and Analysis: A laboratory Manual, Cold Harbor Press, 2008). The antibodies, antigen binding fragment, and conjugates need not be 100% pure. Once purified, partially or to homogeneity as desired, if to be used therapeutically, the polypeptides should be substantially free of endotoxin.
Methods for expression of the antibodies, antigen binding fragments, and conjugates, and/or refolding to an appropriate active form, from mammalian cells, and bacteria such as E. coli have been described and are well-known and are applicable to the antibodies disclosed herein. See, e.g., Harlow and Lane, Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, 2nd, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York, 2013, Simpson ed., Basic methods in Protein Purification and Analysis: A laboratory Manual, Cold Harbor Press, 2008, and Ward et al., Nature 341:544, 1989.
In addition to recombinant methods, the antibodies, antigen binding fragments, and/or conjugates can also be constructed in whole or in part using standard peptide synthesis. Solid phase synthesis of the polypeptides can be accomplished by attaching the C-terminal amino acid of the sequence to an insoluble support followed by sequential addition of the remaining amino acids in the sequence. Techniques for solid phase synthesis are described by Barany & Merrifield, The Peptides: Analysis, Synthesis, Biology. Vol. 2: Special Methods in Peptide Synthesis, Part A. pp. 3-284; Merrifield et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 85:2149-2156, 1963, and Stewart et al., Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis, 2nd ed., Pierce Chem. Co., Rockford, Ill., 1984. Proteins of greater length may be synthesized by condensation of the amino and carboxyl termini of shorter fragments. Methods of forming peptide bonds by activation of a carboxyl terminal end (such as by the use of the coupling reagent N, N'-dicylohexylcarbodimide) are well known in the art.

D. Methods and Compositions
1. Therapeutic methods
Methods are disclosed herein for the prevention or treatment of an HIV-1 infection. Prevention comprises inhibition of infection with HIV-1. The methods include contacting a cell with a therapeutically effective amount of a disclosed antibody, antigen binding fragment, or conjugate that specifically binds gp41, or a nucleic acid encoding such an antibody, antigen binding fragment, or conjugate. The method can also include administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of a disclosed antibody, antigen binding fragment, or conjugate that specifically binds gp41, or a nucleic acid encoding such an antibody, antigen binding fragment, or conjugate, to a subject. In some examples, the antibody, antigen binding fragment, conjugate, or nucleic acid molecule can be used pre-exposure (for example, to prevent or inhibit HIV-1 infection). In some examples, the antibody, antigen binding fragment, conjugate, or nucleic acid molecule can be used in post-exposure prophylaxis. In some examples, the antibody, antigen binding fragment, conjugate, or nucleic acid molecule, can be used to eliminate or reduce the viral reservoir of HIV1 in a subject. For example a therapeutically effective amount of an antibody, antigen binding fragment, conjugate, or nucleic acid molecule can be administered to a subject with HIV-1, such as a subject being treated with anti-viral therapy. In some examples the antibody, antigen binding fragment, conjugate, or nucleic acid molecule is modified such that it is directly cytotoxic to infected cells (e.g., by conjugation to a toxin), or uses natural defenses such as complement, antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), or phagocytosis by macrophages.
HIV-1 infection does not need to be completely eliminated or prevented for the method to be effective. For example, a method can decrease HIV-1 infection by a desired amount, for example by at least 10%, at least 20%, at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 98%, or even at least 100% (elimination of detectable HIV-1 infected cells), as compared to HIV-1 infection in the absence of the treatment. In some embodiments, the cell is also contacted with a therapeutically effective amount of an additional agent, such as anti-viral agent. The cell can be in vivo or in vitro. The methods comprises administration of one on more additional agents known in the art. In additional embodiments, HIV-1 replication can be reduced or inhibited by similar methods. HIV-1 replication does not need to be completely eliminated for the method to be effective. For example, a method can decrease HIV-1 replication by a desired amount, for example by at least 10%, at least 20%, at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 98%, or even at least 100% (elimination of detectable HIV-1), as compared to HIV-1 replication in the absence of the treatment.
Methods to assay for neutralization activity include, but are not limited to, a single-cycle infection assay as described in Martin et al. (2003) Nature Biotechnology 21:71-76. In this assay, the level of viral activity is measured via a selectable marker whose activity is reflective of the amount of viable virus in the sample, and the IC50 is determined. In other assays, acute infection can be monitored in the PM1 cell line or in primary cells (normal PBMC). In this assay, the level of viral activity can be monitored by determining the p24 concentrations using ELISA. See, for example, Martin et al. (2003) Nature Biotechnology 21:71-76.

PCT/US2016/060390
In one embodiment, administration of a disclosed antibody, antigen binding fragment, conjugate, or nucleic acid molecule, results in a reduction in the establishment of HIV-1 infection and/or reducing subsequent HIV-1 disease progression in a subject. A reduction in the establishment of HIV-1 infection and/or a reduction in subsequent HIV-1 disease progression encompass any statistically significant reduction in HIV-1 activity. In some embodiments, methods are disclosed for treating a subject with an HIV-1 infection. These methods include administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a disclosed antibody, antigen binding fragment, conjugate, or nucleic acid molecule, thereby preventing or treating the HIV-1 infection.
Studies have shown that the rate of HIV-1 transmission from mother to infant is reduced significantly when zidovudine is administered to HIV-infected women during pregnancy and delivery and to the offspring after birth (Connor et al., 1994 Pediatr Infect Dis 714: 536-541). Several studies of mother-toinfant transmission of HIV -1 have demonstrated a correlation between the maternal virus load at delivery and risk of HIV-1 transmission to the child. The present disclosure provides antibodies, antigen binding fragments, conjugates, and nucleic acid molecule that are of use in decreasing HIV-transmission from mother to infant. Thus, in some examples, a therapeutically effective amount of a gp41-specific antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof or nucleic acid encoding such antibodies or antibody antigen binding fragments, is administered in order to prevent transmission of HIV-1, or decrease the risk of transmission of HIV-1, from a mother to an infant. In some examples, a therapeutically effective amount of the antibody, or an antigen binding fragment or nucleic acid encoding such antibody or antigen binding fragment, is administered to mother and/or to the child at childbirth. In other examples, a therapeutically effective amount of the antibody, antigen binding fragment, or nucleic acid encoding the antibody or antigen binding fragment is administered to the mother and/or infant prior to breast feeding in order to prevent viral transmission to the infant or decrease the risk of viral transmission to the infant. In some embodiments, both a therapeutically effective amount of the antibody, antigen binding fragment, or nucleic acid encoding the antibody or antigen binding fragment and a therapeutically effective amount of another agent, such as zidovudine, is administered to the mother and/or infant.
For any application, the antibody, antigen binding fragment, conjugate, or nucleic acid molecule can be combined with anti-retroviral therapy. Antiretroviral drugs are broadly classified by the phase of the retrovirus life-cycle that the drug inhibits. The disclosed antibodies can be administered in conjunction with nucleoside analog reverse-transcriptase inhibitors (such as zidovudine, didanosine, zalcitabine, stavudine, lamivudine, abacavir, emtricitabine, entecavir, and apricitabine), nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (such as tenofovir and adefovir), non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (such as efavirenz, nevirapine, delavirdine, etravirine, and rilpivirine), protease inhibitors (such as saquinavir, ritonavir, indinavir, nelfinavir, amprenavir, lopinavir, fosamprenavir, atazanavir, tipranavir, and darunavir), entry or fusion inhibitors (such as maraviroc and enfuvirtide), maturation inhibitors, (such as bevirimat and vivecon), or a broad spectrum inhibitors, such as natural antivirals. In some examples, a disclosed antibody or active
-69WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390 fragment thereof or nucleic acids encoding such is administered in conjunction with IL-15, or conjugated to
IL-15.
Studies have shown that cocktails of HIV-1 neutralizing antibodies that target different epitopes of HIV-1 Env can treat macaques chronically infected with SHIV (Shingai et al., Nature, 503, 277-280, 2013; and Barouch et al., Nature, 503, 224-228, 2013). Accordingly, in some examples, a subject is further administered one or more additional antibodies that bind HIV-1 Env (e.g., that bind to gpl20 and/or gp41), and that can neutralize HIV-1 infection. The additional antibodies can be administrated before, during, or after administration of the novel antibodies disclosed herein (e.g., 10E8v4, 10E8v5, 10E8v4 SlOOcF, or 10E8v4 V5R SlOOcF). In some embodiments, the additional antibody can be an antibody that specifically binds to an epitope on HIV-1 Env such as the CD4 binding site (e.g., bl2, 3BNC117, VRC01, VRC07, VRC07-523 antibody), the V1/V2 domain (e.g., PG9 antibody, CAP256-VRC26 ), or the V3 loop (e.g., 101074, PGT 121, or PGT128 antibody), or those that bind both gpl20 and gp41 subunits (e.g., 35022, PGT151, or 8ANC195). In these combinatorial antibody treatment methods, the antibodies can all be in the IgG format, or another formal. Antibodies that specifically bind to these regions and neutralizing HIV-1 infection are known to the person of ordinary skill in the art. Non-limiting examples can be found, for example, in PCT Pub. No. WO 2011/038290, WO/2013/086533, WO/2013/090644, WO/2012/158948, which are each incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
In some examples, a subject is administered the DNA encoding the antibody or antigen binding fragments thereof, to provide in vivo antibody production, for example using the cellular machinery of the subject. Immunization by nucleic acid constructs is well known in the art and taught, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 5,643,578, and U.S. Patent No. 5,593,972 and U.S. Patent No. 5,817,637. U.S. Patent No. 5,880,103 describes several methods of delivery of nucleic acids encoding to an organism. One approach to administration of nucleic acids is direct administration with plasmid DNA, such as with a mammalian expression plasmid. The nucleotide sequence encoding the disclosed antibody, or antigen binding fragments thereof, can be placed under the control of a promoter to increase expression. The methods include liposomal delivery of the nucleic acids. Such methods can be applied to the production of an antibody, or antigen binding fragments thereof, by one of ordinary skill in the art. In some embodiments, a disclosed antibody or antigen binding fragment is expressed in a subject using the pVRC8400 vector (described in Barouch et al., J. Virol, 79 ,8828-8834, 2005, which is incorporated by reference herein).
The nucleic acid molecules encoding the disclosed antibodies (such as 10E8v4 SlOOcW-DS) or antigen binding fragments can be included in a viral vector, for example for expression of the antibody or antigen binding fragment in a host cell, or a subject (such as a subject with or at risk of HIV-1 infection). A number of viral vectors have been constructed, that can be used to express the disclosed antibodies or antigen binding fragments, such as a retroviral vector, an adenoviral vector, or an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector. In several examples, the viral vector can be replication-competent. For example, the viral vector can have a mutation in the viral genome that does not inhibit viral replication in host cells. The viral
-70WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390 vector also can be conditionally replication-competent. In other examples, the viral vector is replicationdeficient in host cells.
In several embodiments, a subject (such as a human subject with or at risk of HIV-f infection) can be administered a therapeutically effective amount of an adeno-associated virus (AAV) viral vector that comprises one or more nucleic acid molecules encoding a disclosed antibody or antigen binding fragment (such as 10E8v4 SlOOcF antibody). The AAV viral vector is designed for expression of the nucleic acid molecules encoding a disclosed antibody or antigen binding fragment, and administration of the therapeutically effective amount of the AAV viral vector to the subject leads to expression of a therapeutically effective amount of the antibody or antigen binding fragment in the subject. Non-limiting examples of AAV viral vectors that can be used to express a disclosed antibody or antigen binding fragment in a subject include those provided in Johnson et al (“Vector-mediated gene transfer engenders long-lived neutralizing activity and protection against SIV infection in monkeys,” Nat. Med., 15(8):901-906, 2009) and Gardner et al. (“AAV-expressed eCD4-Ig provides durable protection from multiple SHIV challenges,” Nature, 519(7541): 87-91, 2015), each of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
In one embodiment, a nucleic acid encoding a disclosed antibody, or antigen binding fragments thereof, is introduced directly into cells. For example, the nucleic acid can be loaded onto gold microspheres by standard methods and introduced into the skin by a device such as Bio-Rad’s HELIOS™ Gene Gun. The nucleic acids can be “naked,” consisting of plasmids under control of a strong promoter.
Typically, the DNA is injected into muscle, although it can also be injected directly into other sites. Dosages for injection are usually around 0.5 gg/kg to about 50 mg/kg, and typically are about 0.005 mg/kg to about 5 mg/kg (see, e.g., U.S. Patent No. 5,589,466).
In another embodiment, an mRNA-based administration protocol can be used to deliver a nucleic acid encoding a disclosed antibody directly into cells. In some embodiments, nucleic acid-based therapeutics based on mRNA may provide a potent alternative to the previously mentioned approaches. mRNA therapeutics preclude safety concerns about DNA integration into the host genome and can be directly translated in the host cell cytoplasm. Moreover, the simple cell-free, in vitro synthesis of RNA avoids the manufacturing complications associated with viral vectors or cellular production and purification of complex biomolecules. Two exemplary forms of RNA-based delivery of therapeutics that can be used to deliver a nucleic acid encoding a disclosed antibody include conventional non-amplifying mRNA therapeutic delivery (see, e.g., Petsch et al., “Protective efficacy of in vitro synthesized, specific mRNA vaccines against influenza A virus infection,” Nature biotechnology, 30(12):1210-6, 2012) and selfamplifying mRNA therapeutic delivery (see, e.g., Geall et al., “Nonviral delivery of self-amplifying RNA vaccines,” PNAS, 109(36): 14604-14609, 2012; Magini et al., “Self-Amplifying mRNA Vaccines Expressing Multiple Conserved Influenza Antigens Confer Protection against Homologous and Heterosubtypic Viral Challenge,” PLoS One, 1 l(8):e0161193, 2016; and Brito et al., “Self-amplifying mRNA vaccines,” Adv Genet., 89:179-233, 2015).

2. Dosages
A therapeutically effective amount of a gp41-specific antibody, antigen binding fragment, conjugate, or nucleic acid molecule encoding such molecules, will depend upon the severity of the disease and/or infection and the general state of the patient's health. A therapeutically effective amount is that which provides either subjective relief of a symptom(s) or an objectively identifiable improvement as noted by the clinician or other qualified observer. The gp41-specific antibody, antigen binding fragment, conjugate, or nucleic acid molecule encoding such molecules, can be administered in conjunction with another therapeutic agent, either simultaneously or sequentially.
Single or multiple administrations of a composition including a disclosed gp41-specific antibody, antigen binding fragment, conjugate, or nucleic acid molecule encoding such molecules, can be administered depending on the dosage and frequency as required and tolerated by the patient. Compositions including the gp41-specific antibody, antigen binding fragment, conjugate, or nucleic acid molecule encoding such molecules, should provide a sufficient quantity of at least one of the gp41-specific antibody, antigen binding fragment, conjugate, or nucleic acid molecule encoding such molecules to effectively treat the patient. The dosage can be administered once, but may be applied periodically until either a therapeutic result is achieved or until side effects warrant discontinuation of therapy. In one example, a dose of the antibody or antigen binding fragment is infused for thirty minutes every other day. In this example, about one to about ten doses can be administered, such as three or six doses can be administered every other day. In a further example, a continuous infusion is administered for about five to about ten days. The subject can be treated at regular intervals, such as monthly, until a desired therapeutic result is achieved. Generally, the dose is sufficient to treat or ameliorate symptoms or signs of disease without producing unacceptable toxicity to the patient.
Data obtained from cell culture assays and animal studies can be used to formulate a range of dosage for use in humans. The dosage normally lies within a range of circulating concentrations that include the ED50, with little or minimal toxicity. The dosage can vary within this range depending upon the dosage form employed and the route of administration utilized. The therapeutically effective dose can be determined from cell culture assays and animal studies.
In certain embodiments, the antibody or antigen binding fragment that specifically binds gp41, or conjugate thereof, or a nucleic acid molecule or vector encoding such a molecule, or a composition including such molecules, is administered at a dose in the range of from about 5 or 10 nmol/kg to about 300 nmol/kg, or from about 20 nmol/kg to about 200 nmol/kg, or at a dose of about 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50,
55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 110, 120, 125, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 175, 180, 190, 200, 210, 220, 230, 240, 250, 260, 270, 280, 290, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 750, 1000, 1250, 1500, 1750 or 2000 nmol/kg, or at a dose of about 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600, 650, 700, 750, 800, 850, 900, 950 or 1000 pg/kg, or about 1, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5 or 10 mg/kg, or other dose deemed appropriate by the treating physician. In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen binding fragment can be administered to a subject at a dose of from about 0.5 to about 40 mg/kg, such as about 1 to about 30,
-72WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390 about 1 to about 20, about 1 to about 15, about 1 to about 10, about 1 to about 5, about 1 to about 3, about
0.5 to about 40 mg/kg, such as about 0.5 to about 30, about 0.5 to about 20, about 0.5 to about 15, about 0.5 to about 10, about 0.5 to about 5, about 0.5 to about 3, about 3 to about 7, about 8 to about 12, about 15 to about 25, about 18 to about 22, about 28 to about 32, about 10 to about 20, about 5 to about 15, or about 20 to about 40 mg/kg. The doses described herein can be administered according to the dosing frequency/frequency of administration described herein, including without limitation daily, 2 or 3 times per week, weekly, every 2 weeks, every 3 weeks, monthly, every other month, etc.
In some embodiments, a disclosed therapeutic agent may be administered intravenously, subcutaneously, or by another mode daily or multiple times per week for a period of time, followed by a period of no treatment, then the cycle is repeated. In some embodiments, the initial period of treatment (e.g., administration of the therapeutic agent daily or multiple times per week) is for 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 5 weeks, 6 weeks, 7 weeks, 8 weeks, 9 weeks, 10 weeks, 11 weeks, or 12 weeks. In a related embodiment, the period of no treatment lasts for 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, or 4 weeks. In certain embodiments, the dosing regimen of the therapeutic agent is daily for 3 days followed by 3 days off; or daily or multiple times per week for 1 week followed by 3 days or 1 week off; or daily or multiple times per week for 2 weeks followed by 1 or 2 weeks off; or daily or multiple times per week for 3 weeks followed by 1, 2, or 3 weeks off; or daily or multiple times per week for 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 weeks followed by 1, 2, 3, or 4 weeks off.
3. Modes of Administration
The gp41-specific antibody, antigen binding fragment, conjugate, or nucleic acid molecule encoding such molecules, or a composition including such molecules, as well as additional agents, can be administered to subjects in various ways, including local and systemic administration, such as, e.g., by injection subcutaneously, intravenously, intra-arterially, intraperitoneally, intramuscularly, intradermally, or intrathecally. In an embodiment, a therapeutic agent is administered by a single subcutaneous, intravenous, intra-arterial, intraperitoneal, intramuscular, intradermal or intrathecal injection once a day. The therapeutic agent can also be administered by direct injection at or near the site of disease.
The gp41-specific antibody, antigen binding fragment, conjugate, or nucleic acid molecule encoding such molecules, or a composition including such molecules may also be administered orally in the form of microspheres, microcapsules, liposomes (uncharged or charged (e.g., cationic)), polymeric microparticles (e.g., polyamides, polylactide, polyglycolide, poly(lactide-glycolide)), microemulsions, and the like.
A further method of administration is by osmotic pump (e.g., an Alzet pump) or mini-pump (e.g., an Alzet mini-osmotic pump), which allows for controlled, continuous and/or slow-release delivery of the therapeutic agent or pharmaceutical composition over a pre-determined period. The osmotic pump or minipump can be implanted subcutaneously, or near a target site.
It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the gp41-specific antibody, antigen binding fragment, conjugate, or nucleic acid molecule encoding such molecules, or a composition including such molecules
-73WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390 can also be administered by other modes. Determination of the most effective mode of administration is within the skill of the skilled artisan. The gp41-specific antibody, antigen binding fragment, conjugate, or nucleic acid molecule encoding such molecules, or a composition including such molecules can be administered as pharmaceutical formulations suitable for, e.g., oral (including buccal and sub-lingual), rectal, nasal, topical, pulmonary, vaginal or parenteral (including intramuscular, intraarterial, intrathecal, subcutaneous and intravenous) administration, or in a form suitable for administration by inhalation or insufflation. Depending on the intended mode of administration, the pharmaceutical formulations can be in the form of solid, semi-solid or liquid dosage forms, such as tablets, suppositories, pills, capsules, powders, liquids, suspensions, emulsions, creams, ointments, lotions, and the like. The formulations can be provided in unit dosage form suitable for single administration of a precise dosage. The formulations comprise an effective amount of a therapeutic agent, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, carriers and/or diluents, and optionally one or more other biologically active agents.
4. Compositions
Compositions are provided that include one or more of the gp41-specific antibody, antigen binding fragment, conjugate, or nucleic acid molecule encoding such molecules, that are disclosed herein in a carrier. The compositions are useful, for example, for example, for the treatment or detection of an HIV-1 infection. The compositions can be prepared in unit dosage forms for administration to a subject. The amount and timing of administration are at the discretion of the treating physician to achieve the desired purposes. The gp41-specific antibody, antigen binding fragment, conjugate, or nucleic acid molecule encoding such molecules can be formulated for systemic or local administration. In one example, the gp41-specific antibody, antigen binding fragment, conjugate, or nucleic acid molecule encoding such molecules, is formulated for parenteral administration, such as intravenous administration.
In some embodiments, the compositions comprise an antibody, antigen binding fragment, or conjugate thereof, in at least 70% (such as at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98% or at least 99% purity. In certain embodiments, the compositions contain less than 10% (such as less than 5%, less than 4%, less than 3%, less than 2%, less than 1%, less than 0.5%, or even less) of macromolecular contaminants, such as other mammalian (e.g., human) proteins.
The compositions for administration comprises a solution of the gp41-specific antibody, antigen binding fragment, conjugate, or nucleic acid molecule encoding such molecules, dissolved in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, such as an aqueous carrier. A variety of aqueous carriers can be used, for example, buffered saline and the like. These solutions are sterile and generally free of undesirable matter. These compositions may be sterilized by conventional, well known sterilization techniques. The compositions may contain pharmaceutically acceptable auxiliary substances as required to approximate physiological conditions such as pH adjusting and buffering agents, toxicity adjusting agents and the like, for example, sodium acetate, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, sodium lactate and the
-74WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390 like. The concentration of antibody in these formulations can vary widely, and will be selected primarily based on fluid volumes, viscosities, body weight and the like in accordance with the particular mode of administration selected and the subject’s needs.
A typical composition for intravenous administration includes about 0.01 to about 50 mg/kg of antibody or antigen binding fragment or conjugate per subject per day (or the corresponding dose of a conjugate including the antibody or antigen binding fragment). Actual methods for preparing administrable compositions will be known or apparent to those skilled in the art and are described in more detail in such publications as Remington's Pharmaceutical Science, 22th ed., Pharmaceutical Press, London, UK (2012).
In some embodiments, the composition can be a liquid formulation including one or more antibodies, antigen binding fragments (such as an antibody or antigen binding fragment that specifically binds to gp41), in a concentration range from about 0.1 mg/ml to about 40 mg/ml, or from about 0.5 mg/ml to about 20 mg/ml, or from about 1 mg/ml to about 20 mg/ml, or from about 0.1 mg/ml to about 10 mg/ml, or from about 0.5 mg/ml to about 10 mg/ml, or from about 1 mg/ml to about 10 mg/ml.
Antibodies, or an antigen binding fragment thereof or a conjugate or a nucleic acid encoding such molecules, can be provided in lyophilized form and rehydrated with sterile water before administration, although they are also provided in sterile solutions of known concentration. The antibody solution, or an antigen binding fragment or a nucleic acid encoding such antibodies or antigen binding fragments, can then be added to an infusion bag containing 0.9% sodium chloride, USP, and typically administered at a dosage of from 0.5 to 15 mg/kg of body weight. Considerable experience is available in the art in the administration of antibody drugs, which have been marketed in the U.S. since the approval of RlTUXAN® in 1997. Antibodies, antigen binding fragments, conjugates, or a nucleic acid encoding such molecules, can be administered by slow infusion, rather than in an intravenous push or bolus. In one example, a higher loading dose is administered, with subsequent, maintenance doses being administered at a lower level. For example, an initial loading dose of 4 mg/kg may be infused over a period of some 90 minutes, followed by weekly maintenance doses for 4-8 weeks of 2 mg/kg infused over a 30 minute period if the previous dose was well tolerated.
Controlled-release parenteral formulations can be made as implants, oily injections, or as particulate systems. For a broad overview of protein delivery systems see, Banga, A.J., Therapeutic Peptides and Proteins: Formulation, Processing, and Delivery Systems, Technomic Publishing Company, Inc., Lancaster, PA, (1995). Particulate systems include microspheres, microparticles, microcapsules, nanocapsules, nanospheres, and nanoparticles. Microcapsules contain the therapeutic protein, such as a cytotoxin or a drug, as a central core. In microspheres the therapeutic is dispersed throughout the particle. Particles, microspheres, and microcapsules smaller than about 1 pm are generally referred to as nanoparticles, nanospheres, and nanocapsules, respectively. Capillaries have a diameter of approximately 5 pm so that only nanoparticles are administered intravenously. Microparticles are typically around 100 pm in diameter and are administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly. See, for example, Kreuter, J., Colloidal Drug Delivery Systems, J. Kreuter, ed., Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York, NY, pp. 219-342 (1994); and Tice & Tabibi,

Treatise on Controlled Drug Delivery, A. Kydonieus, ed., Marcel Dekker, Inc. New York, NY, pp. 315-339, (1992).
Polymers can be used for ion-controlled release of the antibody compositions disclosed herein. Various degradable and nondegradable polymeric matrices for use in controlled drug delivery are known in the art (Langer, Accounts Chem. Res. 26:537-542, 1993). For example, the block copolymer, polaxamer 407, exists as a viscous yet mobile liquid at low temperatures but forms a semisolid gel at body temperature. It has been shown to be an effective vehicle for formulation and sustained delivery of recombinant interleukin2 and urease (Johnston et al., Pharm. Res. 9:425-434, 1992; and Pec etal., J. Parent. Sci. Tech. 44(2):58-65, 1990). Alternatively, hydroxyapatite has been used as a microcarrier for controlled release of proteins (Ijntema et al., Int. J. Pharm. 112:215-224, 1994). In yet another aspect, liposomes are used for controlled release as well as drug targeting of the lipid-capsulated drug (Betageri et al., Liposome Drug Delivery Systems, Technomic Publishing Co., Inc., Lancaster, PA (1993)). Numerous additional systems for controlled delivery of therapeutic proteins are known (see U.S. Patent No. 5,055,303; U.S. Patent No. 5,188,837; U.S. Patent No. 4,235,871; U.S. Patent No. 4,501,728; U.S. Patent No. 4,837,028; U.S. Patent No. 4,957,735; U.S. Patent No. 5,019,369; U.S. Patent No. 5,055,303; U.S. Patent No. 5,514,670; U.S.

5. Methods of detection and diagnosis
Methods are also provided for the detection of the expression of gp41 in vitro or in vivo. In one example, expression of gp41 is detected in a biological sample, and can be used to detect HIV-1 infection as the presence of HIV-1 in a sample. Uie sample can be any sample, including, but not limited to, tissue from biopsies, autopsies and pathology specimens. Biological samples also include sections of tissues, for example, frozen sections taken for histological purposes. Biological samples further include body fluids, such as blood, serum, plasma, sputum, spinal fluid or urine. Hie method of detection comprises contacting a cell or sample, or administering to a subject, an antibody or antigen binding fragment that specifically binds to gp41, or conjugate there of (e.g. a conjugate including a detectable marker) under conditions sufficient to form an immune complex, and detecting the immune complex (e.g., by detecting a detectable marker conjugated to the antibody or antigen binding fragment.
In several embodiments, a method is provided for detecting an HIV-1 infection in a subject. Hie disclosure provides a method for detecting HIV-1 in a biological sample, wherein the method comprises contacting a biological sample from a subject with a disclosed antibody or antigen binding fragment under conditions sufficient for formation of an immune complex, and detecting the immune complex, to detect the gp41 in the biological sample. In one example, the detection of gp41 in the sample indicates that the subject has an HIV-1 infection. In another example, detection of gp41 in the sample confirms a diagnosis of an HIV-1 infection in the subject.

PCT/US2016/060390
In some embodiments, the disclosed antibodies or antigen binding fragments thereof are used to test vaccines. For example to test if a vaccine composition including gp41 assumes a conformation including the 10E8 epitope. Thus provided herein is a method for testing a vaccine, wherein the method comprises contacting a sample containing the vaccine, such as a HIV-1 Env immunogen, with a disclosed antibody or antigen binding fragment under conditions sufficient for formation of an immune complex, and detecting the immune complex, to detect the vaccine with an HIV-1 immunogen including the 10E8 epitope in the sample. In one example, the detection of the immune complex in the sample indicates that vaccine component, such as a HIV-1 Env immunogen assumes a conformation capable of binding the antibody or antigen binding fragment.
In one embodiment, the antibody or antigen binding fragment is directly labeled with a detectable marker. In another embodiment, the antibody that binds HIV-1 Env (the first antibody) is unlabeled and a second antibody or other molecule that can bind the antibody that binds the first antibody is utilized for detection. As is well known to one of skill in the art, a second antibody is chosen that is able to specifically bind the specific species and class of the first antibody. For example, if the first antibody is a human IgG, then the secondary antibody may be an anti-human-IgG. Other molecules that can bind to antibodies include, without limitation, Protein A and Protein G, both of which are available commercially.

III. EXAMPLES
The following examples are provided to illustrate particular features of certain embodiments, but the scope of the claims should not be limited to those features exemplified.
Example 1: Optimized 10E8 antibodies
This example illustrates identification of modified 10E8 antibodies that have an improved combination of neutralization, solubility, and auto-reactivity properties compared to the parent 10E8 antibody.
The broadly neutralizing antibody 10E8 was isolated from the HIV-1-infected donor N152, and recognizes a helix in the membrane-proximal external region (MPER) just prior to the transmembranespanning region of the HIV-1 gp41 glycoprotein. 10E8 neutralizes 98% of diverse HIV-1 isolates with a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of approximately 0.32 μ/ml, which is substantially more potent and broad than other antibodies that bind the MPER of gp41, such as the 2F5 and 4E10 antibodies. See Huang et al. (Nature, 491: 406-412, 2012) for a description of the 10E8 antibody.
Prior efforts to improve the neutralization properties of the 10E8 antibody identified the serine residue at kabat position 74 of the 10E8 Vh as a potential site of mutation (see U.S. Pub. 2014/0348785A1,
-82WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390
FIG. 44). For example, a 10E8 antibody with a S74W substitution improved 10E8 neutralization 3-5 fold (see U.S. Pub. 2014/0348785A1, FIG. 45). However, when the S74W substitution was incorporated into the
HC6 Vh (discussed below) and paired with 10E8 Vl, the resulting antibody was autoreactive by cardiolipin antibody assay (see U.S. Pub. 2014/0348785A1, FIG. 56), indicating that antibodies with this substitution may not be optimal for therapeutic use.
Many clonal variants of the 10E8 heavy and light chains were identified by next generation sequencing of donor N152 samples and assessed for function by pairing with the complementary wild-type 10E8 chain (see pages 104-107 and FIGs. 50-52 of U.S. Pub. 2014/0348785A1). Among the many identified clonal variants were the HC6 Vh (referred to as gVRC-H2dNi52 and provided as SEQ ID NO: 154 in U.S. Pub. 2014/0348785A1), the H6 VH (referred to as gVRC-H6dNi52 and provided as SEQ ID NO: 158 in U.S. Pub. 2014/0348785A1), the H8 VH (referred to as gVRC-H8dNi52 and provided as SEQ ID NO: 160 in U.S. Pub. 2014/0348785A1), the F10 VL (referred to as gVRC-F10dNi52 and provided as SEQ ID NO: 173 in U.S. Pub. 2014/0348785A1) and the F19 VL (referred to as gVRC-F19dNi52 and provided as SEQ ID NO: 192 in U.S. Pub. 2014/0348785A1).
Additional modifications of the 10E8 antibody Vh were made to generate the HC6-S74Y Vh (provided as SEQ ID NO: 192 in U.S. Pub. 2014/0348785A1), and HC6-S74Y-511 VH (referred to as HC6_S77Y_hp_F02 and provided as SEQ ID NO: 201 in U.S. Pub. 2014/0348785A1). Modifications of the 10E8 antibody Vl were made to generate the rF3 Vl (referred to as “F3,” or “10E8gF03” and provided as SEQ ID NO: 152 in U.S. Pub. 2014/0348785A1).
Despite the improvements to the 10E8 antibody described above, additional 10E8 variants that are highly soluble, lack auto-reactivity, and retain (or improve) the neutralization capability of wild-type 10E8 are needed.
The amino acid sequences of the above antibody Vh and Vl domains are provided in FIGs. 1A-1E. FIGs. 1A and IB show the CDRs of these heavy and light chain variable regions by IMGT positioning, and FIGs. 1C and ID show the CDRs of these heavy and light chain variable regions by kabat positioning. The amino acid sequences of the heavy and light chain variable regions discussed in this example are set forth in Table 2.

The modified 10E8 antibodies were produced substantially as previously described (see, e.g., Wu et al., Science, 333(6049):1593-1602, 2011 andZhu et al., Front Microbiol 3(2012):315, 2012). Briefly, antibodies were expressed by co-transfection of Expi293F cells with equal amount of the paired heavy and light chain plasmids and purified using a recombinant protein-A column (GE Healthcare). Unless context indicates otherwise, all antibody assays described in the examples utilizing variant 10E8 antibodies (having one or more amino acid substitutions in the variable regions) that were in the IgG format and were produced as discussed above.
One method for assessing antibody solubility is to examine the turbidity of a solution containing the antibody by measuring the optical density OD of the solution at 350 nm. Accordingly, the turbidity of solutions containing the 10E8 antibody, an antibody including the HC6-S74Y Vh and the rL3 Vl, an antibody including the HC6-S74Y-511 Vh and the rL3 Vl, or the VRC01 antibody (which is highly soluble in aqueous solution) was determined by measuring the OD350 of the antibody solution. Briefly, the antibodies were expressed in mammalian cells and the resulting supernatant was passed over a Protein A column. The column was washed, and bound antibody was eluted from the column using Elution Buffer (10 mM Glycine, pH 2.7) that dripped into a collection tube continuing neutralization buffer of 1M Tris-HCl, pH 8.5. As shown in FIG. 2, eluate containing the 10E8 antibody or the HC6-S74Y/rL3 antibody exhibited substantially higher OD350 readings (indicating increased turbidity) compared to the VRC01 antibody. This finding indicated that these two antibodies are prone to aggregation and less soluble than the VRC01 antibody. However, the HC6-S74Y-511/rL3 antibody was significantly less turbid (that is, more soluble) than the 10E8 and HC6-S74Y/rL3 antibodies as determined by OD350 (FIG. 2), and was nearly as effective at neutralizing HIV-1 (FIG. 3).
Additional heavy and light chain combinations were tested using the turbidity assay as a screen for solubility (FIG. 4). As shown in FIG. 4, antibodies including combinations of the H8 Vh and L10 Vl or L19
Vl, or the H6 Vh and L10 Vl all exhibited improved solubility as determined by turbidity at OD350 compared to the unmodified 10E8 antibody.
-84WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390
To further improve the solubility of the H6- and H8-based antibodies, the L72,175, and F77 residues of the Vh were targeted for substitution with more hydrophilic amino acids. These residues are located within a hydrophobic patch of the 10E8 Vh (identified from the structure of 10E8/MPER complex, described in Huang etal., Nature, 491: 406-412, 2012). As shown in FIG. 4A, antibodies including the H8-511 Vh and the L10 Vl, or the H6-511 Vh and the L10 Vl exhibited greatly improved solubility compared to the unmodified 10E8 antibody, or modified 10E8 antibodies including the H6/L10, H8/L10, or H8/L19 variable regions as determined by turbidity at OD350. However, combinations of the H8-511 Vh and L10 Vl, or the H6-511 Vh and L10 Vl were each approximately 10-fold less effective for neutralization of HIV-1 viral strains (FIG. 4B). The hydrophilic substitutions were expected to reduce the overall hydrophobicity and increase solubility of the H6 and H8 Vh domains, but the dramatic reduction in neutralization potency and breadth was unexpected.
Additional modifications of the H6-511 Vh was engineered in an attempt to improve HIV-1 neutralization, without a corresponding reduction in antibody solubility. As shown in FIG. 5, residues at kabat positions 28, 31, 52, and 98 are located near the epitope binding region of 10E8. In the H6-511 Vh kabat positions 28, 31, 52, and 98 are occupied by asparagine, aspartate, serine, and histidine residues, respectively. In contrast, in the HC6 Vh (which is strongly neutralizing when paired with the rL3 Vl), kabat positions 28, 31, 52, and 98 are occupied by aspartate, asparagine, threonine, and tyrosine residues, respectively. Various combinations of kabat positions 28, 31, 52, and 98 from H6-511 Vh were substituted with the corresponding residues from the HC6 Vh to generate a series of mutant Vh domains that were paired with the rL3 Vl and tested for solubility and neutralization. As shown in FIG. 6, all the mutants exhibited improved solubility as determined by turbidity at OD350 compared to the unmodified 10E8 antibody. Further, one of the modified antibodies, H6-511-4mut (No. 7, which includes H98Y, N28D, D31N, S52T substitutions compared to H6-511) broadly neutralized HIV-1 viral strains (FIG. 7). Compared to wild-type 10E8 VH, the H6-51 l-4mut VH includes Q3R, A61E, P62S, E64K, L72D, S74T, I75K, F77T, L(82C)V, M84T, S87T, Y98H, R105Q, and T110I substitutions.
As shown in FIG. 8, the modified 10E8 antibodies including the L10 Vl were identified as highly soluble (compare unmodified 10E8 to 10E8H/L10). However, modified 10E8 antibodies including the L10 Vl lack the broadly neutralizing properties of the parent 10E8 antibody (FIG. 4B). In contrast, the modified 10E8 antibodies including the rL3 Vl paired with the 10E8 Vh are broad and potent neutralizers of HIV-1 infection, but are not as soluble as antibodies including the L10 Vl.
Accordingly, screening assays were performed to determine if a modified Vl could be generated with the HIV-1 neutralizing properties of the rL3 Vl, and the solubility of the L10 Vl- The L10 Vl and the rL3 Vl differ in sequence at 12 positions (see FIG. 1). Antibodies with substitutions at each of these positions were screened for solubility and neutralization properties. As shown in FIG. 9, an antibody solution containing a modified 10E8 antibody including the 10E8 Vh paired with rL3 Vl with S1A, Y2S, T8P, G9A, G16K, and R17Q substitutions was substantially less turbid than corresponding 10E8 WT or other rL3 variants. The rL3 Vl variant with SI A, Y2S, T8P, G9A, G16K, and R17Q substitutions was
-85WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390 termed “rL3-6mut” and includes SI A, Y2S, E7D, T8P, G9A, G16K, R17Q, I45V, V58I, S76T, D83E, and
E85D substitutions compared to the native 10E8 Vl.
An antibody including the H6-51 l-4mut Vh paired with the rL3-6mut Vl was substantially more soluble (as measured using the turbidity assay) than 10E8 wt antibody or the H6-511-4mut/rL3 antibody (FIG. 10). Further, each of the H6-51 l-4mut Vh /rL3-6mut, and H6-51 l-4mut/rL3 antibodies neutralized HIV-1 with IC50 and ICso values less than that of 10E8 wt (FIG. 11).
FIG. 12 provides a summary of the development process for the HC6-S74Y-511/rL3 (Variant 1), H6-511-4mut/rL3-6mut (Variant 4), and HC6-S74Y-511/rL3-6mut (Variant5) antibodies. The nomenclature, sequence, and substitutions compared to wild-type 10E8 for these variant antibodies is summarized in Table 3.

Additional assays were performed to further analyze the solubility, autoreactivity, and neutralization of the HC6-S74Y-511/rL3, H6-511-4mut/rL3-6mut, and HC6-S74Y-511/rL3-6mut antibodies (FIGs. 1316).
Kinetic concentration. A kinetic concentration assay was performed to assess solubility of the HC6-S74Y-511/rL3, H6-511-4mut/rL3-6mut, and HC6-S74Y-511/rL3-6mut antibodies. Three milliliters (cone. 0.35 OD) of each variant in phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4 was loaded into a centrifugal concentrator with a molecule weight cut-off of 30,000 daltons, and centrifuged at 4000g for 20 minutes (FIG. 13A). After centrifugation, the volume of each of the modified antibodies was less than that of wildtype 10E8, with the volume of the H6-511-4mut/rL3-6mut and HC6-S74Y-511/rL3-6mut antibodies substantially less than that of the 10E8 antibody (FIG. 13B). A significant increase in the protein concentrations of the H6-511-4mut/rL3-6mut and HC6-S74Y-511/rL3-6mut antibody solutions was also observed (FIG. 13C).
Dynamic Light Scattering. The HC6-S74Y-511/rL3, H6-511-4mut/rL3-6mut, and HC6-S74Y51 l/rL3-6mut antibodies were assessed by dynamic light scattering. Dynamic light scattering is useful technique for determine the heterogeneity of the size of polymers dissolved in a solution. A monodisperse solution is one containing dissolved polymers (proteins) that are of equal size. A polydisperse solution contains polymers of varying size. In the case of a protein solution containing a protein that aggregates, the
-86WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390 dynamic light scattering assay will identify a polydisperse solution. As shown in FIG. 14, antibody solution containing wild-type 10E8 is polydisperse, whereas antibody solutions containing the HC6-S74Y-511/rF3,
H6-51 l-4mut/rF3-6mut, or HC6-S74Y-51 l/rF3-6mut antibody were monodisperse. This finding shows that these variant antibodies do not aggregate in solution.
Autoreactivity. A property common to the previously characterized MPER mAbs 2F5 and 4E10 is that they cross-react with self-antigens, and consequently are known to bind to self antigens present on HIV1 naive HEp-2 cells (Haynes etal., Science 308, 1906-1908, 2005; Huang etal., Nature, 491: 406-412, 2012). Accordingly, the auto-reactivity of the HC6-S74Y-51 l/rF3, H6-51 l-4mut/rF3-6mut, and HC6S74Y-51 l/rF3-6mut antibodies was tested by HEp-2 cell straining. Reactivity to HIV-1 negative human epithelial (HEp-2) cells was determined by indirect immunofluorescence on slides using Evans Blue as a counterstain and FITC-conjugated goat anti-human IgG (Zeus Scientific) substantially as previously described (Haynes et al., Science, 308(5730):1906-1908, 2005). As shown in FIG. 15, the HC6-S74Y511/rF3, H6-511-4mut/rF3-6mut, and HC6-S74Y-511/rF3-6mut antibodies showed little to no staining of the HEp-2 cells compared to the know autoreactive antibody VRC07-G54W. Fess staining intensity was observed for the H6-511-4mut/rF3-6mut and HC6-S74Y-511/rF3-6mut antibodies than the HC6-S74Y511/rF3 antibody.
Neutralization. To further assess the neutralizing breadth and potency of the HC6-S74Y-51 l/rF3, H6-511-4mut/rF3-6mut, and HC6-S74Y-511/rF3-6mut antibodies, these antibodies were tested on a large panel of 200 HIV-1 pseudo viruses using a previously described pseudovirus neutralization assay (see Wu et al., Science, 329(5993):856-861, 2010, incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). Briefly, monoclonal antibody was serially diluted five-fold with Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium 10% FCS (Gibco), and 10 μΐ was incubated with 40 μΐ of pseudovirus in a 96-well plate at 37°C for 30 min. TZM-bl cells were then added and plates were incubated for 48h. Assays were then developed with a luciferase assay system (Promega), and the relative light units (RFU) were read on a luminometer (Perkin Elmer). HIV-1 Env pseudoviruses were generated by co-transfection of 293T cells with pSG3 delta Env backbone and a second plasmid that expressed HIV-1 Env at a ratio of 2:1. 72 h after transfection, supernatants containing pseudoviruses were harvested and frozen at -80°C until further use. Neutralization curves were fit by nonlinear regression using a five-parameter hill slope equation as described. The IC50 and ICso values were reported as the antibody concentrations required to inhibit infection by 50% or 80%, respectively.
Each of the 10E8, HC6-S74Y-511/rL3, H6-511-4mut/rL3-6mut, and HC6-S74Y-511/rL3-6mut antibodies neutralized 98% of the viruses in the large panel with a median IC50 of approximately 0.4 μg/ml (FIGs. 16A-16C) and a median ICsoof approximately 2.0 μg/ml, respectively (FIGs. 16D-16F).
Serum half-life. The serum half-life of the 10E8v4 antibody was assessed in macaques. Antibodies including the heavy and light chain variable regions of the 10E8 or 10E8v4 antibodies were generated with
IgGl constant region or IgGl with “FS” mutation constant region, and injected IV into macaques to assess serum half-life. As shown in FIG. 17, the 10E8v4 antibody (with or without FS substitution in the constant region) has a substantially increased half-life compared to the parent 10E8 antibody.
-87WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390
In summary, the potency, breadth, and autoreactivity of the HC6-S74Y-511/rL3, H6-511-4mut/rL36mut, and HC6-S74Y-51 l/rL3-6mut antibodies are similar to that of unmodified 10E8 antibody, but the modified 10E8 antibodies are far more soluble in aqueous solution, particularly the H6-511-4mut/rL3-6mut and HC6-S74Y-51 l/rL3-6mut antibodies.
Example 2: Optimized 10E8 antibodies
This example illustrates a series of modified 10E8 antibodies developed using a surface-matrix approach where individual surface mutants were assessed for neutralization potency and manufacturability. To improve antibody 10E8, a human antibody capable of neutralizing 98% of HIV-1 isolates, 280 surface mutants were created that incorporated hydrophobic changes (Phe/Trp), hydrophilic protrusions (Arg), large steric protrusions (N-linked glycan), and side-chain removal (poly-glycine). For potency, these mutants were assessed by neutralization.
A hydrophobic substitution at heavy chain-residue 100c was observed to increase neutralization. A 10E8 variant including a SIOOcW substitution (10E8v4-100cW) yielded the broadest and most potent HIV1-neutralizing antibody yet described. Further, a poly-glycine substitution including modification of light chain-residue 32 was observed to enhance homogeneity in size exclusion chromatography, an effect also achieved by introducing a disulfide bond in this region.
1. Surface-Matrix Approach
Macromolecular function is often critically dependent on surface interactions. While alanine scanning or Arg scanning have been used to understand function, such scanning has not been used to directly improve function. Specific protein surface alterations were chosen that might enhance function.
280 surface mutants of 10E8 that incorporated hydrophobic changes (Phe/Trp - to enhance binding to hydrophobic patches), hydrophilic protrusions (Arg - to aid in solubility or to interact with membrane), large steric protrusions (N-linked glycan - to aid in solubility or to aid in steric inhibition of entry), and sidechain removal (poly-glycine - to aid in solubility or to remove steric restrictions on recognition) were generated. These 10E8 mutants were screened for HIV-1 neutralization using a 9-isolate HIV-1 panel as described above, and all except Phe/Trp changes were assessed for turbidity as described above.

2. Substitution at light chain kabat position 32
When 10E8, 10E8 variant 4 and 10E8 variant 5 are purified using gel chromatography, an unusual “double peak” is observed (see FIG. 18A). Although this double peak does not appear to affect neutralization breadth or potency, or antibody solubility, additional modifications of 10E8 antibody sequence were pursued to determine if the double peak could be removed. Based on the structure of 10E8 bound to MPER peptide, many amino acid substitutions were assayed, including kabat position 32 of the Vl.
Surprisingly, substitution of the tyrosine residue at kabat position 32 of the Vl with nearly any other amino acid removed the “double peak” (FIGs. 18B and 18C). The resulting 10E8 variants were assayed for HIV-1 neutralization using the 9-isolate HIV-1 panel, specifically chosen to represent diversity. As indicated in the tables below, a 10E8 variant 4 antibody further including a Y32W substitution has improved HIV-1 neutralization properties compared to 10E8 variant 4, and a variant with a Y32F substitution was nearly as potent as 10E8 variant 4.

Several of the 10E8 variant 4 antibodies that further include a substitution at Vl kabat position 32 were also assayed for turbidity (FIG. 18D). 10E8 variant 4 with Y32A, Y32F, Y32I, Y32L, Y32M, Y32P, Y32V, or Y32W substitution each had a turbidity profile similar to that of 10E8 variant 4.
2.10E8v4-100cW
The surface-matrix mutagenesis assay discussed above identified a hydrophobic change at kabat position 100c of the heavy chain to improve HIV-1 neutralization potency (the SlOOcF substitution). Analysis of the antibody surface suggested potential membrane interaction, and that a Trp substitution at kabat position 100c might also be of interest. Accordingly, a SlOOcW substitution was introduced into
10E8v4 and analyzed for HIV-1 neutralization (FIG. 19). Testing 10E8v4-100cW on a panel of 208 HIV-1 isolates indicated it to be the most potent and broadest antibody yet identified.
ANA Hep-2 staining analysis and anti-cardiolipin ELISA were performed to test the auto-reactivity of several 10E8 variants. The Hep-2 staining assays were performed as described above. The anti15 cardiolipin ELISA was performed as described in Asokan et al. J. Virol., doi: 10.1128/JVI.02097-15, 2015). The results of these assays are summarized in the following table.

Example 3: Detecting HIV-1 in a sample or a subject using a gp41-specific antibody
This example describes the use of HIV-1 monoclonal neutralizing antibodies specific to gp41 for the detection of HIV-1 in a sample or a subject. This example further describes the use of these antibodies to confirm the diagnosis of HIV-1 infection in a subject.
-93WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390
A biological sample, such as a blood sample, is obtained from the patient diagnosed with, undergoing screening for, or suspected of having an HIV-1 infection. A blood sample taken from a patient who is not infected is used as a control, although a standard result can also be used as a control. An ELISA is performed to detect the presence of gp41 in the blood sample. Proteins present in the blood samples (the patient sample and control sample) are immobilized on a solid support, such as a 96-well plate, according to methods well known in the art (see, for example, Robinson et al., Lancet 362:1612-1616, 2003, incorporated herein by reference). Following immobilization, HIV-1 monoclonal neutralizing antibodies specific to gp41 that are directly labeled with a fluorescent marker are applied to the protein-immobilized plate. The plate is washed in an appropriate buffer, such as PBS, to remove any unbound antibody and to minimize nonspecific binding of antibody. Fluorescence can be detected using a fluorometric plate reader according to standard methods. An increase in fluorescence intensity of the patient sample, relative to the control sample, indicates the gp41 antibody specifically bound proteins from the blood sample, thus detecting the presence of gp41 protein in the sample. Detection of gp41 protein in the patient sample indicates the patient has an HIV-1 infection, or confirms diagnosis of HIV-1 infection in the subject.
Example 4: Treatment of HIV-1 using a monoclonal antibody specific for gp41
This example describes a particular method that can be used to treat HIV-1 infection in a human subject by administration of one or more gp41-specific human neutralizing antibodies. Although particular methods, dosages, and modes of administrations are provided, one skilled in the art will appreciate that variations can be made without substantially affecting the treatment.
Based upon the teaching disclosed herein, HIV-1 infection can be treated by administering a therapeutically effective amount of one or more of the neutralizing antibodies described herein, thereby reducing or eliminating HIV-1 infection.
Screening subjects: In particular examples, the subject is first screened to determine if they have an HIV-1 infection. Examples of methods that can be used to screen for HIV-1 infection include a combination of measuring a subject’s CD4+ T cell count and the level of HIV-1 virus in serum blood levels. Additional methods using the gp41-specific antibodies described herein can also be used to screen for HIV-1 infection.
In some examples, HIV-1 testing consists of initial screening with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect antibodies to HIV-1. Specimens with a nonreactive result from the initial ELISA are considered HIV-1-negative unless new exposure to an infected partner or partner of unknown HIV-1 status has occurred. Specimens with a reactive ELISA result are retested in duplicate. If the result of either duplicate test is reactive, the specimen is reported as repeatedly reactive and undergoes confirmatory testing with a more specific supplemental test (e.g., Western blot or an immunofluorescence assay (IFA)). Specimens that are repeatedly reactive by ELISA and positive by IFA or reactive by Western blot are considered HIV-positive and indicative of HIV-1 infection. Specimens that are repeatedly ELISA-reactive occasionally provide an indeterminate Western blot result, which may be either an incomplete antibody response to HIV-1 in an infected person, or nonspecific reactions in an uninfected person. IFA can be used
-94WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390 to confirm infection in these ambiguous cases. In some instances, a second specimen will be collected more than a month later and retested for subjects with indeterminate Western blot results. In additional examples, nucleic acid testing (e.g., viral RNA or proviral DNA amplification method) can also help diagnosis in certain situations.
The detection of HIV-1 in a subject’s blood is indicative that the subject is infected with HIV-1 and is a candidate for receiving the therapeutic compositions disclosed herein. Moreover, detection of a CD4+ T cell count below 350 per microliter, such as 200 cells per microliter, is also indicative that the subject is likely to have an HIV-1 infection.
Pre-screening is not required prior to administration of the therapeutic compositions disclosed herein
Pre-treatment of subjects: In particular examples, the subject is treated prior to administration of a therapeutic agent that includes one or more antiretroviral therapies known to those of skill in the art. However, such pre-treatment is not always required, and can be determined by a skilled clinician.
Administration of therapeutic compositions: Following subject selection, a therapeutically effective dose of a gp41-specific neutralizing antibody described herein (such as the H6-51 l-4mut/rL3-6mut antibody) is administered to the subject (such as an adult human or a newborn infant either at risk for contracting HIV-1 or known to be infected with HIV-1). Additional agents, such as anti-viral agents, can also be administered to the subject simultaneously or prior to or following administration of the disclosed agents. Administration can be achieved by any method known in the art, such as oral administration, inhalation, intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, or subcutaneous.
The amount of the composition administered to prevent, reduce, inhibit, and/or treat HIV-1 or a condition associated with it depends on the subject being treated, the severity of the disorder, and the manner of administration of the therapeutic composition. Ideally, a therapeutically effective amount of an agent is the amount sufficient to prevent, reduce, and/or inhibit, and/or treat the condition (e.g., HIV-1) in a subject without causing a substantial cytotoxic effect in the subject. An effective amount can be readily determined by one skilled in the art, for example using routine trials establishing dose response curves. As such, these compositions may be formulated with an inert diluent or with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
In one specific example, antibodies are administered at 5 mg per kg every two weeks or 10 mg per kg every two weeks depending upon the particular stage of HIV-1. In an example, the antibodies are administered continuously. In another example, antibodies or antibody fragments are administered at 50 pg per kg given twice a week for 2 to 3 weeks.
Administration of the therapeutic compositions can be taken long term (for example over a period of months or years).
Assessment: Following the administration of one or more therapies, subjects with HIV-1 can be monitored for reductions in HIV-1 levels, increases in a subject’s CD4+ T cell count, or reductions in one or more clinical symptoms associated with HIV-1. In particular examples, subjects are analyzed one or more times, starting 7 days following treatment. Subjects can be monitored using any method known in the art.
-95WO 2017/079479
PCT/US2016/060390
For example, biological samples from the subject, including blood, can be obtained and alterations in HIV-1 or CD4+ T cell levels evaluated.
Additional treatments: In particular examples, if subjects are stable or have a minor, mixed or partial response to treatment, they can be re-treated after re-evaluation with the same schedule and preparation of agents that they previously received for the desired amount of time, including the duration of a subject’s lifetime. A partial response is a reduction, such as at least a 10%, at least 20%, at least 30%, at least 40%, at least 50%, or at least 70% in HIV-1 infection, HIV-1 replication or combination thereof. A partial response may also be an increase in CD4+ T cell count such as at least 350 T cells per microliter.

Additionally, light chain variable region residues S2, E3, T5, D7, P8, A9, S12, A14, L15, K16, Q17, T18, T20, D26, S30, P40, G41, Q42, V45, K51, N52, S56, G57, P59, D60, S63, S65, A66, S67, G68, N69, T76, G77, Q79, A80, E81, D85, K93, S94, G100, K103, and L107 (kabat numbering) of the 10E8v4 V5R SlOOcF antibody were individually mutated to arginine or tryptophan. Thus, a total of 172 10E8v4 V5R SlOOcF mutants were generated. Each of the resulting 10E8v4 V5R SlOOcF mutants was expressed (as an IgG) and tested using the pseudovirus neutralization assay described above. Of these, the following variants were identified to improve HIV-1 neutralization (by geometric mean) at least 2-fold compared to the parent 10E8v4 V5R SlOOcF antibody:

The 10E8v4 V5R SlOOcF variants that led to at least a 3 fold improvement in HIV-1 neutralization were positioned within the Cryo-EM HIV-1 Env structure fitted with the 10E8v4 antibody (see FIG. 22).

PCT/US2016/060390
This analysis revealed that some of the identified mutations clustered together on the 10E8 antibody. One group of mutations was in a membrane-proximal region of 10E8 when 10E8 is bound to HIV-1 Env (D7W,
D26R, and G68R substitutions to the Vl), and another group was in a region of 10E8 that is not proximal to the cell membrane (D72R, E1R D28W, and P52bR substitutions to the Vh). These groups of substitutions can be introduced into the sequence of the 10E8v4 V5R SlOOcF antibody to generate additional 10E8 variants as follows:
10E8v4 V5R SlOOcF with D72R, E1R D28W, and P52bR substitutions to the Vh;
10E8v4 V5R SlOOcF with D7W, D26R, and G68R substitutions to the Vl;
10E8v4 V5R SlOOcF with D72R, E1R D28W, and P52bR substitutions to the VHandD7W, D26R, 10 and G68R substitutions to the Vl;
10E8v4 V5R SlOOcF variants that include combinations of the mutations identified in the individual mutation screens were then generated and assayed for HIV-1 neutralization. Of the combination of interest identified (see the following table), several were expressed and tested using the pseudovirus neutralization assay described above. Of these, several variants were identified to improve HIV-1 neutralization compared to the parent 10E8v4 V5R SlOOcF antibody (see FIGs. 23A-23F).

Antibody Characterization
Assays were performed with the 10E8v4, 10E8v4 SlOOcW, 10E8v4 SlOOcF, and 10E8v4 V5R 10 SlOOcF antibodies to determine the appropriateness of each of these antibodies for clinical production. The
10E8 variants were produced by transient expression in CHO cells, purified using standard techniques, and subjected to a panel of assays concerning the physical characteristics of the purified antibody. The expressed antibodies included the 10E8v4, 10E8v4 SlOOcW, 10E8v4 SlOOcF, and 10E8v4 V5R SlOOcF VH and VL

PCT/US2016/060390 regions in the context of an IgGi that includes the “LS” substitution in the constant region to increase halflife in serum. Results of these assays are listed in Table 11. The assays included:
1. Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC) to determine the level of aggregation and multimerization of the purified 10E8 variants. Each of the 10E8 variants was primarily in one peak coming off the size exclusion column.
2. Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC) following 5 freeze thaw cycles to determine if freeze stress would induce antibody aggregation. The freeze thaw cycles did not significantly alter the elution profile of the 10E8 variants from the size exclusion column.
3. The appearance of the antibody solution was evaluated following initial purification. All antibody solutions were clear, colorless, and had no visible particulate.
4. Antibody Concentration (UV-VIS): The concentration of the antibody in solution following initial purification determined by absorbance (A) at 280 nm (characteristic of proteins) and light scattering (OD) due to sub-visible/visible particles in the solution at 350 nm. Low OD350 nm (<0.05 OD) values indicated minimal large particles in the starting material.
5. Thermal Transition measured by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC): These measurements determined that the structural transition temperatures of the 10E8 variants fell within a normal range.
6. Circular Dichroism (CD): CD assays were performed to determine if the secondary structure of the 10E8 variants falls within a normal range. As shown in the table, the CD assays identified CD signal minimums at about 218 nm and 230 nm. Overall the CD results indicate that the 10E8 variants have somewhat typical secondary structure for an antibody. Similar CD measurements were obtained for each variant.
7. Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS): DLS was used to evaluate heterogeneity of population size for the variant antibodies in solution. The DLS assays showed that the 10E8 variants each exhibited almost no heterogeneity of population size, indicating that the 10E8 variants were monodisperse in solution. The identified hydrodynamic radius for each variant fell within a normal range.
8. DLS thermal ramping (DLS-Melt) was used to evaluate the colloidal and structural thermal transition points for the 10E8 variants. The onset of aggregation (TonSet) was within the normal range for each of the 10E8 variants.
9. Isothermal Chemical Denaturation was used to evaluate the intrinsic stability of the 10E8 variants as a function of pH. Each of the 10E8 variants had a pH sensitivity in the normal range.

In view of the above, the 10E8v4, 10E8v4 SlOOcW, 10E8v4 SlOOcF, and 10E8v4 V5R SlOOcF antibodies were found to have substantially similar physical characteristics that fell within a normal range for antibodies that have successfully been produced using large-scale production techniques.
However, additional analysis of antibody solubility and the ability to concentrate the antibody variants revealed that 10E8v4 SlOOcF and 10E8v4 V5R SlOOcF antibodies were superior in some ways to 10E8v4 SlOOcW. In particular, difficulties with concentrating 10E8v4 SlOOcW were observed, with substantial oprecipitation of antibody from solution when trying to reach concentrations of 20 mg/ml. The other three antibodies (10E8v4, 10E8v4 SlOOcF, and 10E8v4 V5R SlOOcF) did not have difficulties reaching 20 mg/ml.
For example, the standard antibody expression and purification protocol used to generate the 10E8v4 variants included transient expression of heavy and light chains in Expi293F cells, purification of secreted antibody from the cell media using a Protein A purification column, elution of the antibody from the column with elution buffer (pH 2.8), buffer exchange into PBS (pH 7.4) by dialysis, and concentration of the antibody solution. For the 10E8v4, 10E8v4 SlOOcF, and 10E8v4 V5R SlOOcF antibodies, yield fell within a normal range of about 70-80% purified concentrated antibody relative to the amount of corresponding antibody eluted from the column. However, yield of 10E8v4 SlOOcW antibody was only about 60% purified concentrated antibody relative to the amount of 10E8v4 SlOOcW antibody eluted from the column. The loss of 10E8v4 SlOOcW antibody was primarily due to precipitation from solution during the concentration step. In contrast, there was minimal loss of antibody from solution during the concentration step for the 10E8v4 SlOOcF and 10E8v4 V5R SlOOcF antibodies.

Additionally, when the concentration step was conducted using Amicon Stirred Cell Ultrafiltration (nitrogen pressure) in lOmM Citrate-Phosphate, 150mM NaCl pH 6.0 (10E8v4 SlOOcW) or lOmM CitratePhosphate, 150mM NaCl pH 6.5 (10E8v4 SlOOcF and 10E8 V5R SlOOcF)), approximately 5-10% protein loss was observed for 10E8v4 V5R lOOcF and 10E8v4-100cF during the concentration step, but an approximate 40% protein loss was observed for the 10E8v4-100cW variant. The final antibody concentration resulting from these concentration steps also differed substantially between the tested variants. A final concentration of 23-25 mg/mL was achieved for the 10E8v4 SlOOcF and 10E8v4S100cW antibodies. In contrast, a final concentration of about 40 mg/mL was achieved for the 10E8v4 V5R SlOOcF antibody.
To further investigate the effect of the residue present at kabat position 100c of the 10E8 antibody on solubility, 10E8v4 antibodies with SlOOcF, SlOOcH, SlOOcL, SlOOcR, SlOOcW, or SlOOcY substitutions were expressed and purified as discussed above, and assayed for the solubility based on the ability to concentrate (FIG. 24). The antibodies were eluted from the purification column using elution buffer (pH 7.4), dialyzed into PBS (pH 7.4), and 3 ml (0.35 OD) of each variant was concentrated for 30 minutes at 4000 rpm using a 30,000 MWCO concentrator (Amicon Ultra-15 filter MWCO 30,000), in triplicate. As shown in FIG. 24, the 10E8v4 SlOOcW variant was the most difficult to concentrate, and had the greatest final volume of solution following concentration (and the lowest antibody concentration) as assessed by OD280 measurement.
Example 7
Optimized 10E8 antibodies
This example describes mutagenesis of kabat position SlOOc of the 10E8v4 antibody to several different amino acids to evaluate the relative effect of this residue HIV-1 neutralization by the 10E8v4 antibody. 10E8v4 antibodies with SlOOcF, SlOOcH, SlOOcL, SlOOcR, SlOOcW, or SlOOcY substitutions were expressed and purified as discussed in Example 5, and assayed for the HIV-1 neutralization using a pseudovirus assay. As shown in Table 12, 10E8v4 variants with the slOOcF and SlOOcW substitutions showed the greatest improvement in mean neutralization potency over 10E8v4 (—20- and 40-fold lower mean IC50 values relative to 10E8v4). In combination with the findings discussed above, these results show that 10E8v4 variant antibodies that include a SlOOcF substitution possess an optimal combination of HIV-1 neutralization, solubility, and auto-reactivity properties, relative to the many 10E8 variants tested.
